Can't install numba on Python 3.10

Viewed 3038

Python 3.10 on Mac running OS 11.6.1

I uninstalled Python 3.9 from my machine and upgraded to version 3.10. No problems installing standard packages such as pandas, scipy, etc. However one package, epycom, requires numba.

When I enter pip3 install numba, I receive the lengthy error message below with the key phrase FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'llvm-config'

Wondering if I should uninstall 3.10 and go back to 3.9?

Directly taken from the llvmlite documentation;

How this ends up being a problem.

If you are on an unsupported architecture (i.e. not x86*) or unsupported Python version for binary wheels (e.g. Python alphas) then pip will try and build Numba from sdist which in turn will try and build llvmlite from sdist. This will inevitably fail as the llvmlite source distribution needs an appropriate LLVM installation to build.

If you are using pip < 19.0 then manylinux2010 wheels will not install and you end up in the situation in 1. i.e. something unsupported so building from sdist.

Historically, this issues has manifested itself as the following error message, which included here verbatim for future reference:

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'llvm-config'

Things to “fix” it…

If you are using pip < 19.0 and on x86*, then update it if you can, this will let you use the manylinux2010 binary wheels.

If you are on an unsupported architecture, for example Raspberry Pi, please use conda if you have that available.

Otherwise: you will probably need to build from source, this means providing an LLVM. If you have conda available you could use this to bootstrap the installation with a working llvm/llvmdev package. Learn more about compiling from source in the section on Building manually below. and in particular note the use of the LLVM_CONFIG environment variable for specifying where your LLVM install is.

Someone has already pointed out numba’s LLVM-config issue. According to the GitHub links, I would try downgrading LLVM, as the GitHub link states LLVM 9 isn’t supported yet. I may be incorrect, and hope this helps!
