Issue with python-crfsuite

I have been trying to install Rasa X on Mac (Sierra 10.12.6) and running into various issues (Older Python, need to run 3.7.4 in virtualenv, missing gcc library, etc.) I have resolved all those issues and finally stuck at the below error:

bash: pip install --no-cache-dir python-crfsuite

Can I get some help?

Thanks,

Hm, maybe this is helpful: error: invalid argument '-std=c99' not allowed with 'C++/ObjC++' · Issue #13 · mesolitica/malaya · GitHub

I am also getting error on installing this package and above mentioned solution is not helping.

hey @Prskriti, which OS you are using?

I am using MacOS @JiteshGaikwad

are you using conda or normal python?

I am using python version 3.6.8 @JiteshGaikwad

hey @Prskriti, try installing using this:

pip install git+git://github.com/kvinwang/python-crfsuite.git@fix69
1 Like

Tried that also getting “ERROR: Command errored out with exit status 128: git clone -q git://github.com/kvinwang/python-crfsuite.git /private/var/folders/43/r_htnmgd5gn79h83b42rmpw40000gp/T/pip-req-build-40su7ptz” on terminal side.

hey @Prskriti, I had tried the same command it works for me, I have attached SS for your references:
