Can't install tulipy in Debian

[xuanngo2001]

I ran

pip3 install tulipy

It gives the following errors:

                       ^
    compilation terminated.
    error: command 'x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc' failed with exit status 1

I have the following packages installed in my system:

Try this: sudo apt-get install build-essential

@codeplea I solve the issue by installing python-dev: apt-get install python3-dev

But I don't understand why the python development package is needed.

I would rather not installing this extra package as it would require 60MB and I'm running my operating system on the RAM.

[codeplea]

Tulip Indicators is programmed in C, so you have to be able to compile it. You could always compile it on a separate machine and then copy it over. Alternatively, I think you can probably uninstall python3-dev after installing tulipy.

Why are you running on RAM?

[xuanngo2001]

I run my OS in RAM because I pack all apps that I need into an ISO and boot it through USB.

By the way, thx for your effort in creating Tulip Indicators library.
