Thank you to the developers for this wonderful and helpful open source package.
I am using Python 3.9 and while installing textattack I ran into following issue: (The original output contained long long lines so I trimmed the text to specific issue message.)
note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.
error: legacy-install-failure
× Encountered error while trying to install package.
╰─> pycld2
note: This is an issue with the package mentioned above, not pip.
Solution:
To install pycld2 go to this link and download .whl file for whatever version of python you are using (I downlaoded for python 3.9). Then go to the directory where the .whl file was installed and write:
pip install pycld2-0.41-cp39-cp39-win_amd64.whl
After this hopefully you can install textattack successfully. I am creating this issue so others can get help directly form here without navigating to pycld2 git repo.
