需要帮助安装wordcloud

Question

Edited this post: I was incorrect about my commands in terminal, they work in powershell and thank you for the advice on the Windows subsytem for Linux.

QUESTION: I am having trouble installing wordcloud and I'm not really understanding the errors I'm seeing (listed below). Link to wordcloud github page . I tried to pip install, conda install, and downloading the manual install using wget https://github.com/amueller/word_cloud/archive/master.zip (the unzip command wasn't recognized in powershell). Help?

C:\Users\ghodg>pip install wordcloud

Answer 1

The windows terminal does not have any of these commands. Those are Bash commands(command language). There is Git Bash which you can download from here: https://git-for-windows.github.io/ It has some commands missing, although it could help. And this too: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/commandline/wsl/about should be installed

EDIT: It may be the version of pip . Try pip3 install wordcloud If you have an error, you may try sudo apt install python3-pip or (if you are a Windows user) py -m pip3 install wordcloud or py3 -m pip install wordcloud . I am not sure which one will work, because I am a Linux user, although I had Windows before.

Seems to be an issue with setuptools . You might need to upgrade setuptools and pip first with pip install -U setuptools pip .
