Unable to install couchbase via pip: 'libcouchbase/couchbase.h' file not found

I am having some trouble installing couchbase dependencies.

First I installed v2 using brew:

brew install libcouchbase@2

This gave me v2.10.7. Then I tried to install the version I need:

pip install couchbase==2.5.5

But I keep having this issue:

ERROR: Command errored out with exit status 1:

         ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

error: command 'clang' failed with exit status 1

Any ideas?

couchbase python-3.x

I found the solution! I had to run the following command:

brew link --force --overwrite libcouchbase@2

And then I got:

Linking /usr/local/Cellar/libcouchbase@2/2.10.7... 77 symlinks created

After this I ran:

pip install couchbase==2.5.5

And it worked fine! :)

I think it gave you this error because libcouchbase was not installed. Try to re-install it without "@2" at the end.

brew install libcouchbase

After that re-install with pip.

pip install couchbase==2.5.5
