trouble in installation about feature-selector

[yuchen3279]

I tried pip install feature_selector in Anacoda Prompt

And met the same issue with @nvthoang :
"Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in C:\Users\Local\Temp\pip-install-n805bq3k\matplotlib"

More detail:

• The following required packages can not be built:
  * freetype, png * Please check http://gnuwin32.sourc
  * eforge.net/packages/freetype.htm for instructions
  * to install freetype * Please check http://gnuwin32
  * .sourceforge.net/packages/libpng.htm for
  * instructions to install png

I tired to reintall freetype and png, but still shows the same error. Might need help. Thanks

This should get you installed on any platform

cd feature-selector
pip install -e .

I am trying to install in Jupyter Notebook, i tried the below codes but seems like its taking a lot of time. I saw two different install commands in this website https://pypi.org/project/feature-selector/

pip install feature-selector

pip install feature_selector

same here, it seems that the package gets installed correctly but then in the notebook, there is no way to import it.

That should work on Windows as well.

@thruzd having the same trouble as you.

Try to restart kernel or re-open your jupyter notebook after installation. I got the same issue but get resolved after doing this.
