安装 Scipy 时元数据生成失败

Question

I have been trying to install Scipy and I got an error called metadata-generation-failed , and I came over to stackoverflow looking for a solution but non of them worked for me. Neither updating pip, nor using commands such as --use-deprecated=legacy-resolver nor --use-deprecated=backtrack-on-build-failures . I ran out of ideas, if somebody can help I would appreciate. Code is right below:

`

I tried using commands such as --use-deprecated=legacy-resolver and --use-deprecated=backtrack-on-build-failures that I found in several cases on this page, expecting to solve my issue and finally get to install the library, but non of them worked, and I always end up with the same result:

Answer 1

Are you trying to install scipy on macOS 11. If so, then we don't support scipy on that version of macOS. For M1 wheels you need to be on macOS 12 or later. I think Intel is ok on macOS 11. If you are trying to install scipy from source you need to install various packages for installation, the absence of gfortran is what's giving this error.

Answer 2

I had the same problem and I use Windows 11. Here is what I get:
