Can't install seaborn

Hi,

sudo python3 -m pip install --user --no-binary :all: seaborn

returns

It seems that an issue with scipy installation takes place;

ERROR: Failed cleaning build dir for scipy
ERROR: Could not build wheels for scipy which use PEP 517 and cannot be installed directly

probably some disc access permissions could cause it.
However, you may like to check a reference thread and install scipy ,

sudo apt-get install python3-scipy

then repeat.
https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/1054938/jetson-nano/install-scipy-on-jetson-nano/

sudo apt install python3-seaborn

should work if you’re ok with the version built by Canonical.

If you want a user install of the most recent version from pypi you can do:

pip3 install seaborn

With no sudo, and no --user

It will take a while to build, however, and you must have the required dependencies. You can probably ensure this with ‘apt-get build-dep python3-seaborn’, but you must uncomment the source URIs (deb-src lines) in your /etc/apt/sources.list and run apt update first.

Ok ty.

pip3 install seaborn

return the same error.

the only command which works is

sudo apt-get install python3-scipy python3-seaborn

Can’t figure out why it “can’t build the wheels” though.

Now :

apparently I have to install a higher version of scipy like this:

pip3 install scipy==1.1.0

Unfortunately “building wheel for scipy” 


When you install from pip, sometimes, if a pre-built version does not exist for your exact platform (like aarch64) it will build binary components from source, in which case it needs to have build dependencies (various language compilers, libraries, headers, etc
). Usually these requirements are listed in the documentation, but you can also use trial an error. For example:

With “pip3 install seaborn” I got an error about a fortran compiler not being installed, so I installed “gfortran” with apt-get. I reran the build, it went further, this time “pybind11-dev” is missing, so I apt installed that and restarted the pip install again. And so on and so forth. Eventually it builds. This process can be used to build just about anything. In any case it should not be used in combination with sudo.

Please note that on Ubuntu (and Linux_for_Tegra) a --user install is now the default for pip when run as a regular user, so you don’t need to use the flag anymore.

The easiest thing to do is usually use apt-get to install the python packages. Most are in Canonical’s repositories so you can “sudo apt install python-thing (or) python3-thing” where “thing” is whatever you would normally pip install.

Sometimes packages are slightly out of date, but often it’s better to develop for slightly older versions of packages since you can’t always depend on whoever installs your software to have the latest thing, and requiring it means they have to go through all of the above.

Are you sure? :

Now it works perfectly. Thanks for your help.

As a test i just did a “pip3 install requests” on both my Xavier and Ubuntu box and it showed up in “~/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages”, so I’m 99% sure. I found it documented on a github issue somwhere but I can’t find the reference rn :/

That is odd. Did you upgrade pip at some point from another source (like pip itself)? The user setting can also be overidden by a config file somewhere. Those could possibly be the cause or something else. In any case there is no harm to explicitly specifying --user.

I’m glad you have it working now. Enjoy!

Yes I actually downgraded it because of a bug to 20.0 → 19.X

https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/7620

I downloaded a get-pip.py and resintalled it.

I might might remove and reinstall from aptitude repo.

sudo apt remove python3-pip
sudo apt install python3-pip=19.3.1

So it should update env variable accordingly?

That is probably what did it. The version of pip installed through pypi is not the same as Canonical supplies in their apt repositories. When I do a “which pip3” i get “/usr/bin/pip3” and the --version is 9.0.1. It’s likely yours is somewhere else. You may have other issues with a pip that isn’t what the distro supplies, just FYI, however personally I’ve never had an issue upgrading pip in a venv.

Uninstalling it through apt-get won’t be possible since it wasn’t installed with apt-get, and reinstalling it won’t fix it if the upgraded pip is in a path that takes precedence, like /usr/local/bin or (i think) ~/bin or ~/.local/bin

Uninstalling it should be the reverse of however you installed it. If you do ‘which pip3’ and it’s not /usr/bin/pip3, you can probably just ‘pip3 uninstall pip’.

That should do it. If you do “which pip3” now you should get “/usr/bin/pip3” rather than one in /usr/local/bin

which pip3 return nothing now and :

sudo apt install python3-pip

python3-pip is already the newest version (9.0.1-2.3~ubuntu1.18.04.1).

and I cant use pip3 not recognized

Furthermore if I follow instruction from This page has moved - pip documentation v22.2.2 it’s the same way as before using get-pip.py to install pip.

So if I follow the instructions:

nano@nano-desktop:~$ python3 get-pip.py pip==19.3
WARNING: pip is being invoked by an old script wrapper. This will fail in a future version of pip.
Please see https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/5599 for advice on fixing the underlying issue.
To avoid this problem you can invoke Python with '-m pip' instead of running pip directly.

nano@nano-desktop:~$
nano@nano-desktop:~$ which pip3
/home/nano/.local/bin/pip3

‘which pip3’ should return /usr/bin/pip3

If it doesn’t, at this point, you can try “sudo apt install --reinstall python3-pip” to force a reinstall of the default pip. If that still doesn’t work, I would suggest a reflash, since it’s likely to be the easiest way to fix the problem.

Also please see the page on installing with package managers

more direct link

There are, admittedly confusingly, a second set of instructions for systems with package managers like apt. Please see the relevant link in the post above.

I also found the reference to the --user default here:

And indeed it can be confusing.

Ok I have to do then:

Not uninstalling pip at /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages, outside environment /usr
$pip3 --version
pip 9.0.1 from /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages (python 3.6)

by doing so it update the venv accordingly i guess
Thanks

As mentioned, a reflash is probably the ideal way to fix it, since your system is in an undefined state and it might be easier. It looks like pip got installed multiple times in multiple places, and that probably affected a lot of other things. You can try deleting ~/.local/bin/pip3 if it exists, logging out, and logging back in, but there is no guarantee you won’t have other issues.

If you create a venv and activate it, you can probably safely do a pip3 install --upgrade pip from inside the venv and you don’t have to do anything else.

Edit: ignore any instructions that were here, the’re not applicable to your setup.

Fixed instructions:

sudo apt install python3-virtualenv

Will install virtualenv itself. Then you can do this to create a venv called ‘potato’ and upgrade pip.

$ python3 -m virtualenv -p python3 potato
Already using interpreter /usr/bin/python3
Using base prefix '/usr'
New python executable in /home/user/potato/bin/python3
Also creating executable in /home/user/potato/bin/python
Installing setuptools, pkg_resources, pip, wheel...done.
 $ source potato/bin/activate
(potato) $ pip3 install --upgrade pip
Requirement already up-to-date: pip in ./potato/lib/python3.6/site-packages (20.0.2)

It should be safe to modify anything inside that, however running get-pip.py might still break things. If you need to change the pip version you can do it through pip.
