ERROR: Failed building wheel for river
Failed to build river
ERROR: Could not build wheels for river, which is required to install pyproject.toml-based projects

This error occurs when I installing river via pip. Can anyone knows how to resolve this issue?

[AdilZouitine]

Hey, Could you provide a minimal reproducible example, please? With your system information?

[marinasie]

I am encountering the same problem with macOS 14.4.1. Steps to reproduce: pip install river

[MaxHalford]

I'm sorry to hear that @marinasie. I'm on MacOS 14, Sonoma, and it's working. Could you share a traceback, including the error you obtained?

[marinasie]

Thanks for helping me out @MaxHalford ! This is my traceback when running pip install river:

[MaxHalford]

May I ask which Python version you're using?

[marinasie]

Python 3.10.11 🐍

[MaxHalford]

Ok super weird. Normally a pre-built wheel should be used, so you don't have to install from scratch. I asked because I see a cpython-312 in your traceback, making me think you're on Python 3.12... I'm not really sure how to help now 😅

[justinuliu]

I think there is no pre-built wheel for MacOS 14 on an Intel CPU, so Pip builds it from scratch.
I have no idea why Pip is using cpython3.12 instead of 3.9 in my case.

[hannahleblanc]

I am getting the same error as @marinasie with Python 3.11 mac 14.3 when using pip install river. I was also running into issues installing the latest development version from github until I ran rustup target add x86_64-apple-darwin, I don't seem to be getting errors now but I haven't tried out River yet.

[marinasie]

Yes, thank you @hannahleblanc !

This installation procedure solved it for me:

rustup target add x86_64-apple-darwin
pip install git+ssh://git@github.com/online-ml/river.git --upgrade  # using SSH
pip install git+https://github.com/online-ml/river --upgrade  # or alternatively run with https

Worked with python 3.10.11 and macOS 14.4.1

Now river works like a charm. 🚀

[adrian-valente]

Hi all, same error on macOS 12.5.1 (on x86 arch), python 3.10 or 3.12 equally, that disappears when rolling back to river 0.19.0 however. The command rustup target add x86_64-apple-darwin does not do the trick for me for installing river >=0.20.0
