How do I install scripy into Python?

Question

I am trying to install scripy into python using the administrator command on windows 10. the error message i get is:

  note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.
error: subprocess-exited-with-error

× Getting requirements to build wheel did not run successfully.
│ exit code: 1
╰─> See above for output.

note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.**

How can I fix this?

I have tried different versions of python (3.12, 3.9 and 3.8), each version gives the same error message.

My ultimate goal is to download numpy (which has been successfully downloaded) and scripy (unsuccessful) to use in SPSS to do partial least squares regression.

I followed the IBM manual on how to set up the PLS extension in SPSS.

EVERYTHING works, except that scripy does not want to install.

I checked your link: https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/how-enable-partial-least-squares-regression-pls-ibm-spss-statistics-27. They clearly made a spelling mistake in the installation command.

The library you want to install is SciPy not scripy. While SciPy is used to solve scientific and mathematical problems, scripy is used for shell scripting with python. Those two are very different libraries. Besides, scripy doesn't support windows, hence the error you're facing.

You need to install SciPy using the following command:

pip install SciPy

This will install the latest scipy on your system.

I don't know too much about this particular library, but I also figured out that there's no setup.py file in this library, on link that I've provided. Also, might be a stupid question, but, shouldn't he be able to install Scripy manually by downloading package and then setting it up in Python environment (even if the Windows is platform that he's using)?

nah, it's not built for Windows. also, I checked the OP's IBM link, they clearly made a spelling mistake. they are showing that they are installing scipy but they provided the command for scripy, which is clearly a mistake. And the analysis he is trying to do also needs scipy not scripy.

on a different note, the scripy library was built for python2.6, for the purpose it was built back then serves no purpose now. now, you can use the subprocess or os module easily to do shell scripting from Python. That's why probably it's not maintained anymore.

Ah, okay, that makes sense, as I said I just saw it's built in 2010, so I was just looking at this problem as general problem with installing libraries, anyways, obviously you're more knowledgeable of it usage means etc., so I guess my answer would be missguiding therefore I deleted it.
