pip not install about ax

[kkashin]

It appears as though pip is using a cached version of Ax. Could you either:

1. Install without using the cache: pip install ax-platform --no-cache-dir

2. Install version 0.1.3 explicitly: pip install ax-platform==0.1.3

Can you let me know if either of these works?

Thanks!

@yiyinying - hmm, OK. Not sure off the top of my head why pip is not using the manylinux1 wheel that we provide for Python 3.7: https://files.pythonhosted.org/packages/1e/32/fe7b32395a8e2075369ffa826ab3d0e4e71ef13086f6b09fad7104132dc8/ax_platform-0.1.3-cp37-cp37m-manylinux1_x86_64.whl.

If you could try running the is_manylinux1_compatible function from https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0513/#platform-detection-for-installers and see why your system is not eligible for manylinux1, that would be helpful.

If you could provide outputs for specific checks, that would be useful too, e.g. what do you get if you run the following command:

python3 -c "from distutils.util import get_platform; print(get_platform());"

We will investigate this further, but in the meantime you should be able to install the bleeding edge version directly from Git: https://ax.dev/versions/latest/docs/installation.html#installing-from-git.

is_manylinux1_compatible() true

Should I change to ubuntu 18.04?

Re: have_compatible_glibc, you want to pass the major and minor version of glibc (see example in https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0513/#platform-detection-for-installers). What's the version you have?

Re: the error you're getting cloning the repo ("failed with error code 128 in None"), it seems like that can happen due to a variety of reasons (some authentication related), but it shouldn't be specific to our library. See for example, zulip/zulip#126.

Make sure you have an up-to-date pip and that your GitHub certs are in order, and then try:

pip3 install cython numpy  # needed for compiling Cython code
pip3 install git+ssh://[email protected]/facebook/Ax.git#egg=Ax

Great, closing the issue then.
