I am trying pip install fbprophet.
I am getting that error: "Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 is required"
It has been discussed many times (e.g. Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 is required (Unable to find vcvarsall.bat)
) , but seems no answer helps me.
My environment:
Windows 7
Anaconda - just installed
Mirosoft VC 2017 - just installed ( It is not version 14, but it is newer - it seems impossible to load 14 (2015) version from MS site )
MS VC Build Tools - also just installed
computer has been relauched after installations
I had the same problem but I solved using these instructions:
https://facebook.github.io/prophet/docs/installation.html
From that page, you can go to the installation instructions for PyStan (which is needed) in which is specified how to install a C++ compiler for the libraries.
tl;dr -> conda install libpython m2w64-toolchain -c msys2
It does not install MS compiler, but it worked on my case and I had also errors regarding the compiler (also had VS2017 installed). I run Windows 10 and latest Anaconda distribution. I hope it helps.
