Hey guys! Miss all of you very much! Today, I will solve a python package fbprophet installation problem for you. Honestly, this is one of the most difficult installations I’ve ever met. Okay, let’s get started!

Please NOTICE that this blog is with a prerequirement that your Python interpreter is based on Anaconda in Windows platform.

1. Generally, if you simply try to install fbprophet with command pip install fbprophet, you will encounter an error displayed below.

2. To solve this bug, you should press Windows first, and then search Anaconda in it. Select Anaconda Prompt which is a command line interface (CLI).

3. In this terminal, firstly, use the command pip show conda to check the existence of a Python package conda. (Normally, it should exist if your computer’s base Python interpreter is anaconda python.exe.) The result of running the command is like below.

4. Now in this step, you can install fbprophet. Before installation, you can download the package via conda-forge by using command conda install -c conda-forge fbprophet. Unfortunately, you will find this process is getting really slow since the download of this file is really slow through this website, which virtually will contribute to a timeout connection and get failed. Therefore, I highly recommend you download file by click here.

5. If you download this file from my link, you will find the file name includes py37. Do not get panicked! Even your Python version is higher than 3.7, it still works ok! Now, use this command to install it conda install your_absolute_file_path\fbprophet-0.6-py37h6538335_0.tar.bz2. The result is like below.

6. Finally, you should double check whether this package is successfully installed. You can use command like this pip show fbprophet. If you succeed installing it, you will get result like below.
