Building wheel for nmslib (pyproject.toml) did not run successfully. exit code: 1

note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip. ERROR: Failed building wheel for nmslib ERROR: Could not build wheels for nmslib, which is required to install pyproject.toml-based projects

Would appreciate if you guys could pls help. This is my final year project.

I'm on macOs with an Apple M1 CPU and managed to installed nsmlib like this:

CFLAGS="-mavx -DWARN(a)=(a)" pip install nmslib

@davidsbatista

I am running on Windows, and have encounter with this error code:

'CFLAGS' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

with poetry ( on MacOS with an Apple M1 Pro) CFLAGS="-mavx -DWARN(a)=(a)" poetry add nmslib works well

I highly recommend using windows subsystem for linux on windows. There are a variety issues here related to installing nmslib, and I encourage you to look for solutions there and on the nmslib repo itself. That being said, I have successfully installed nmslib using windows subsystem for linux and python 3.10 recently.

@dakinggg Hi, thanks for the guidance but I am still struggling to find the particular repo you mentioned using windows subsystem. Could you please provide me a link ?

hey @Teezq could you try installing with mamba as per https://github.com/allenai/scispacy/issues/520#issue-2438749767? I'm looking to see if it works for others.
