Pip hangs and errors out when installing sklearn

Question

I just got a new M1 Max MacBook Pro and I'm trying to install some essential python libraries to it. Pandas installed just fine but sklearn hangs really bad and then gives a massive error.

What I've tried: pip3 install sklearn and pip install sklearn
The error message is UNBELIEVABLY long. Here is the last seemingly parsable part of it:

/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.10/lib/python3.10/site-packages/numpy/distutils/system_info.py:1858: UserWarning:

          Directories to search for the sources can be specified in the
          numpy/distutils/site.cfg file (section [lapack_src]) or by setting
          the LAPACK_SRC environment variable.

As you can see at the bottom, it tries to continue with no success.

Answer 1

Solved by using pip install sci-kitlearn instead of sklearn . Sorry, could have sworn it was sklearn !

Answer 2

I am facing same problem on python 3.10+ and 3.9+ version

Then I switch python version 3.8+ and its working fine

If your using conda then you can simply create a new environment

conda create -n yourenvname python=3.8

Then Activate your new environment

conda actiavate yourenvname 

Then Install sklearn:

pip install sci-kitlearn
