Hi Linus,

I believe the issue might be due to how NumPy is installed system-wide. I presume you are using this on Mac OS X?

Have you tried creating a separate virtual environment, perhaps with Continuum Analytics' Anaconda? https://www.continuum.io/downloads

This will help keep your QSTrader environment "cleaner" from the system Python.

Mike.

Hi Mike,

Thank you for your quick response! I am going to try it.

Hi Mike,

I have already installed Anaconda in my Mac but not in a virtual environment. It is still not available to install qstrader.

Is it possible to install qstrader package in Mac without creating another virtual environment?

Thank you!

Hi Mike,

I have already solved this issue by creating another virtual environment in Anaconda and installed qstrader successfully! (sorry, this is my first time using Python)

Thank you!
