PYTHON ujson. ERROR: Could not build wheels for ujson which use PEP 517 and cannot be installed directly

Question

I`m trying to install RASA framework on my Windows laptop using Poetry and build from source. Using pip wont help me as i was never able to install Tensorflow and it comes along with RASA.

What i have done already:

$ curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/python-poetry/poetry/master/get-poetry.py | python
$ git clone https://github.com/RasaHQ/rasa.git
$ cd rasa
$ poetry install

When the installation reach the point to install ujson this happens and the installation stops:

Collecting ujson

Probably I can could simply install Anaconda and get it done that way (tensorflow worked this way), however the project I want to build needs to be able to run outside of Anaconda at any given time.

Can anyone help me please? By the way, i already installed latest Microsoft Visual C++ and build tools.

Solution 1

there may be two issue in window

1. if bit issue if you are installing in machine 32bit inplace of 64bit use this https://rasa.com/docs/rasa/user-guide/installation/#step-by-step-installation-guide

2. ujson compatibility issue discussed here : https://github.com/ultrajson/ultrajson/issues/369

download your whl file from: https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#ujson

a)pip install ujson-1.35-cp37-cp37m-win_amd64.whl

b)pip install rasa

Solution 2

Try uninstalling the current version of ujson

conda uninstall ujson

and try installing the ujson - 1.35

conda install ujson==1.35
