pip fail to install javabridge

Question

I am trying to install javabridge using pip ( pip install javabridge ) but the following error appear:

InstallationError: Command C:\\Python27\\python.exe -c "import setuptools, tokenize; file ='c:\\windows\\temp\\pip_build_user\\javabridge\\setup.py';exec(compile(getattr(tokenize, 'open', open)( file ).read().replace('\\r\\n', '\\n'), file , 'exec'))" install --record c:\\windows\\temp\\pip-46k2_w-record\\install-record.txt --single-version-externally-managed --compile failed with error code 1 in c:\\windows\\temp\\pip_build_user\\javabridge

How I could solve it?

Answer 1

There are many reasons that pip doesn't work, but as a backup you can manually install.

1. Download .tar.gz file from here .
2. Unzip and un-tar to a folder ( 7-zip works well)
3. Navigate to folder from command line or powershell
4. run python setup.py install
