How to install the ta-lib with Anaconda? #156

thomas2004ch · 2017-09-17T20:52:25Z

I have tried use the following to install the ta-lib in Anaconda:
...
conda install -c quantopian ta-lib
...

But I get message as follow:

Fetching package metadata .............
Solving package specifications: .

UnsatisfiableError: The following specifications were found to be in conflict:

python 3.6*
ta-lib -> numpy 1.10* -> python 2.7*
Use "conda info " to see the dependencies for each package.

How to do?

mrjbq7 · 2017-09-17T22:47:04Z

I'm not sure. In the requirements.txt, it looks like we specify some old versions numpy==1.11.1 and cython==0.24.1. Not sure where you're seeing numpy 1.10*.

What happens if you do condo info ta-lib?

thomas2004ch · 2017-09-18T06:23:42Z

This is what I get:

C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3\Scripts>conda.exe info ta-lib
Fetching package metadata ...........
NoPackagesFoundError: Package missing in current win-64 channels:

ta-lib

Btw: Is talib from Quantopian?

mrjbq7 · 2017-09-18T16:55:10Z

No, this is not a Quantopian project. And this is just a lightweight wrapper for a "TA-Lib" C library that has been around for 15 years or so.

Ah, well your conda thing is probably a different issue. Since the underlying TA-Lib library isn't released as 64-bit binary on Windows, you have to build it yourself. Or get a pre-built binary that you can use.

Here is a comment from someone getting it to work with Anaconda 64-bit and the previous comment in that thread has some instructions on how to build it yourself if you don't want to trust whatever binary that download is.

thomas2004ch · 2017-09-19T06:34:55Z

@mrjbq7
I think I fix the problem now. This page is very helful, though it is unofficial.

^ it is depreciated for python 3.6

masdeseiscaracteres · 2018-05-02T08:36:58Z

I'm currently working on a conda-forge recipe for this library:
conda-forge/staged-recipes#5772

So far, I have created Windows 64 recipes (for ta-lib 0.4.16) only. It would be nice if someone could give it a try:

Install:

conda install -c masdeseiscaracteres ta-lib

Testing:

Install nose
pip install nose
Run tests
nosetests -v talib

If everything goes alright, the following is expected:

It seems something unrelated to TA-lib, it went wrong while uninstalling certifi. Close all Python sessions, IDEs, or Python-related running processes and try again.

ma00 · 2018-05-02T09:09:00Z

I installed it via pip, getting this wheel from https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs
Now I have ta-lib working with python 3.6
Hope this helps someone else

masdeseiscaracteres · 2018-05-02T09:21:16Z

Yep, that works, but this issue is about installing TA-lib using Anaconda. Having a well-tested and well-defined publicly available build process to build conda recipes is also useful to build pip wheels. This will help not only Windows users but those in Unix systems as well.

asdf8601 · 2018-05-02T10:20:13Z

@masdeseiscaracteres it works on windows 10, 64 bit, using miniconda4 and pyhton36.

masdeseiscaracteres · 2018-05-02T10:27:57Z

Cool! Let's go then for the win32 and Unix wheels

manisaivecha341 · 2018-05-05T05:19:13Z

it shows me that the python doesnot support that type of wheel format
I am using windows 8 64 bit version with python3.6

masdeseiscaracteres · 2018-05-05T08:18:46Z

Which is the bitness of your Python interpreter? When starting the Python interpreter in the terminal/command line you may see a line like:

Python 2.7.2 (default, Jun 12 2011, 14:24:46) [MSC v.1500 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32

What does yours say?

manisaivecha341 · 2018-05-05T13:15:16Z

python 3.6.5 32 bit compiler
on win32

masdeseiscaracteres · 2018-05-05T13:25:14Z

That's it then. The packages in https://anaconda.org/masdeseiscaracteres/TA-Lib/files?type=conda are only for 64 bit Python. I have been told conda-forge no longer supports 32 bit builds.

jorgeog96 · 2018-05-24T19:53:47Z

Great! talib running on my Windows10 machine, conda64 and python 3.6
Already made all 26 tests with OK result and run a simple test code calculating some simple indicators..
Thanks a lot

But look at this..interesting..it seems that maybe is it not installed properly?
Module 'talib' has no 'EMA' member

candidodmv · 2018-05-25T19:49:59Z

@masdeseiscaracteres here with Windows 10 64bit and Python 3.6 install so fine. Now, I'will test the lib work.

#AllForABetterBrazil

jorgeog96 · 2018-05-29T18:52:55Z

example:

upperband, middleband, lowerband = ta.BBANDS(df['Close'], timeperiod=n, nbdevup=2, nbdevdn=2, matype=0)

Module 'talib' has no 'EMA' member
Module 'talib' has no 'BBANDS' member

but the tests went ok.. what´s wrong?

mrjbq7 · 2018-05-29T23:42:15Z

@jorgeog96 Are you trying to import it from a python shell that was started from the git checkout directory? That would cause it to find/load the wrong ta-lib module.

jorgeog96 · 2018-05-30T09:47:36Z

I am not pretty sure...but you´re right! If I trying to reproduce the code using jupyter notebook (but my same environment) the thing is OK! but using visual studio code with that environment in an anaconda terminal (inside VS) the code is wrong and get the wrong module. What is the problem?

mrjbq7 · 2018-05-30T16:46:11Z

You can see where the module code is loading from:

This is what a "system" install would generally look like:

>>> import talib
>>> talib.__file__
'/usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/talib/__init__.py'

This is what "loading from a git checkout" might look like:

>>> import talib
>>> talib.__file__
'/home/username/ta-lib/talib/__init__.py'

jorgeog96 · 2018-06-05T16:12:42Z

ok, thank u for your help @mrjbq7 , definitely it´s the first way with the "system" install. I´ve tried in both terminals: original anaconda prompt and visual studio anaconda integrated prompt (where I usually code and try out my scripts). So, how can I fix that import error from the scripts written when I use visual studio code?

jorgeog96 · 2018-06-05T22:49:05Z

This is really curious:
I import talib package as ta and then I add code to do a RSI calculation using ta.RSI (i.e.):

    rsi2 = ta.RSI(df.Close.values,14)

The thing is that VSCode is giving me error saying: E1101:Module 'talib' has no 'RSI' member. But when I use my command prompt Anaconda in VSCode and run: python printPair.py IS RUNNING and calculating the array rsi2 perfectly!

I am comparing the values given from talib with a rsi function "hand-made" and the values are the same. So this is really weird. Maybe it is VSCode python interpreter fault? or something like that? Maybe python interpreter from VSCode is using a "loading from a git checkout"? and getting the wrong package? Because anaconda prompt is running ok! @mrjbq7

mrjbq7 · 2018-06-05T23:45:02Z

I'm not sure how your VSCode is setup, but maybe if you print out:

>>> import sys
>>> sys.path

You can see where the code is being loaded from...
