PYTHONPATH

You are attempting to install a package to a directory that is not on PYTHONPATH and which Python does not read ".pth" files from. The installation directory you specified (via --install-dir, --prefix, or the distutils default setting) was:

  build/bdist.macosx-10.14-x86_64/wheel/

and your PYTHONPATH environment variable currently contains:

''

Here are some of your options for correcting the problem:

You can choose a different installation directory, i.e., one that is on PYTHONPATH or supports .pth files
You can add the installation directory to the PYTHONPATH environment variable. (It must then also be on PYTHONPATH whenever you run Python and want to use the package(s) you are installing.)
You can set up the installation directory to support ".pth" files by using one of the approaches described here:

https://setuptools.readthedocs.io/en/latest/easy_install.html#custom-installation-locations

Please make the appropriate changes for your system and try again.

I get the same error. Can't install it on macbook

Hey @pucktada using conda for installation worked for me. Try this out -

# !echo <password> | sudo -S conda install --yes -c conda-forge skater

thanks adimyth... :) that works for me..

I had the same problem, I resolved it like this:


#Creating a conda env
conda create -n skater-test python=3.6

#on mac, zsh wasn't doing the trick so I used bash, maybe you don't need this one
exec bash

# activate the env
source activate skater-test

# install dependencies and the library
pip3 install --upgrade tensorflow
sudo pip install keras
sudo pip install -U skater==1.1.2
pip install tzlocal
