Hi,

just an fyi, if you have PyCharm, downloading packages functionality is already built into the IDE.

Settings > Project: pythonProject > Python Interpreter

Once there, click on the + add sign.

A new window will appear titled Available Packages. Type in the desired package, click OK and it will be downloaded.

Try:

py -m pip install library_name_here

The installation fails because PyPI contains no prebuilt binaries of scikit-learn for your Python version. Instead, scikit-learn must be built from source, which requires a compiler, which it seems you do not have.

You have two options:

  1. Use a Python version for which scikit-learn provides prebuilt binaries. You are probably using the 32-bit build of Python. If you install 64-bit Python instead, the scikit-learn installation should also work.
  2. Install a compiler. I’m not familiar with Windows, so I can’t help you with how to do that.
