Pip install lseg-data gives error

ryan_choi

When installing the lseg-data package on pip I get this error:

Collecting numpy~=1.11 (from lseg-data)

  Project version: 1.26.4

  WARNING: Failed to activate VS environment: Could not find C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\Installer\vswhere.exe

I've done this in my own virtual environment and without one and I still get the same error. Any help is appreciated!

Hello @ryan_choi

Your machine is unable to build NumPy because of missing dependencies. I would recommend that you start with a clean machine with the latest version of Python, pip, setuptools and wheel. You can also just try to install numpy first to isolate the issue. Numpy and SciPy modules need to be compiled on the target machine and they can fail, if the build tools are not in order.

So try to get this working on your machine first -

pip install numpy

What version of Python are you using?

I use Python 3.12 and it works fine. Please try Python 3.12 instead.

I'm currently using python version 3.13, but I eventually solved this issue by download the lseg-data tar.gz file and manually installing it like that through pip.
