Problem in prerequisite installation for CyNER (with Matplotlib package).

[hoangcuongnguyen2001]

I am currently trying to install CyNER in an Anaconda environment (Python 3.10). However when I tried to install the model directly through GitHub (as in the instruction), I got this problem with Matplotlib:

 copying lib\matplotlib\mpl-data\stylelib\_classic_test_patch.mplstyle -> build\lib.win-amd64-cpython-310\matplotlib\mpl-data\stylelib
      copying lib\matplotlib\mpl-data\fonts\ttf\STIXNonUniBol.ttf -> build\lib.win-amd64-cpython-310\matplotlib\mpl-data\fonts\ttf
      UPDATING build\lib.win-amd64-cpython-310\matplotlib\_version.py
      set build\lib.win-amd64-cpython-310\matplotlib\_version.py to '3.3.1'
      running build_ext
      Building freetype in build\freetype-2.6.1
      msbuild build\freetype-2.6.1\builds\windows\vc2010\freetype.sln /t:Clean;Build /p:Configuration=Release;Platform=x64
      error: command 'msbuild' failed: None
      [end of output]

  note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.

note: This is an issue with the package mentioned above, not pip.
hint: See above for output from the failure.

I have tried to create a new environment (without any libraries from Python) to install the program again, but this issue still persists. So what would you recommend me to do in this case to get CyNER running?

I had the same issue earlier, the issue lies in a different library. You have to install ta-lib, which is a whole process and a half, the process to do so is in its library: https://github.com/TA-Lib/ta-lib-python

additionally, based off the error where there is no msbuild, you may have to do the pip installation for the directory inside developer command prompt for whichever VS studio version you have, that's what I did
