Error pip install qstrader

[Mamakgooa]

Hi...I am struggling to install qstrader using command prompt. Any suggestions?

ERROR: Command errored out with exit status 1: python setup.py egg_info Check the logs for full command output.

Hi @Mamakgooa,

Would it be possible to let us know which operating system and/or Python environment you are utilising in an attempt to install QSTrader?

Also, if possible, could you post the full traceback that occurs when you attempt to install?

Kind regards,

Mike.

Hi @blindemu,

Thank you for sending over the error message. Could you let me know which Python environment you are using? Are you using Python directly or via Anaconda or similar?

Kind regards,

Mike.

[mhallsmoore]

While I have not tested this potential fix, it may be due to using matplotlib==3.0.3, which is the version I've listed in requirements.txt. If you install the latest version of matplotlib (e.g. run pip install matplotlib==3.3.3) prior to running pip install qstrader, this may fix the issue.

Kind regards,

Mike.

Hello @mhallsmoore ,

I am getting the same issue as @blindemu on Anaconda, Python 3.8.5 Windows 10. I have matplotlib version 3.3.3 installed. The error message only mentions a problem with Freetype, which I installed from their website (Complete package and sources). Do I need anything additional?
