Dear All,

I have too much tried to come up with a solution regarding my installation issue. I have python version Python 3.8.5 and installed pymc version of 5.4.1. After running just the following code line to import pymc library (import pymc as pm) I recieved the following errors and warning. I would be thankful if you help.

WARNING (pytensor.configdefaults): g++ not available, if using conda: `conda install m2w64-toolchain`  
WARNING (pytensor.configdefaults): g++ not detected! PyTensor will be unable to compile C-implementations and will default to Python. Performance may be severely degraded. To remove this warning, set PyTensor flags cxx to an empty string.  
Traceback (most recent call last):

NoSectionError: No section: ‘blas’  
KeyError: ‘blas\_\_ldflags’  
FileNotFoundError: [WinError 3] Das System kann den angegebenen Pfad nicht finden: ‘D:\a\1\s\numpy\build\openblas\_info’

Welcome!

How did you install PyMC? Did you follow the [official installation instructions](https://www.pymc.io/projects/docs/en/latest/installation.html)?

Can you share what platform you are on (windows, macOS, linux) and the output when running `conda list`?

Hey Faramarz. i recently helped a coworker/friend install pymc. i’m on windows and struggled installing it so these are the instructions i gave him.

step 0: install miniconda. [Miniconda — conda documentation](https://docs.conda.io/en/latest/miniconda.html)  
miniconda is barebones conda. once it is installed. open up conda. ( Anaconda Prompt (miniconda3) )

1. conda create -c conda-forge -n pymc\_env “pymc\>=5” python=3.10.6
2. activate pymc\_env  
get in.
3. pip install numba (inside your pymc\_env)
4. conda install -c conda-forge mamba (inside your pymc\_env)
5. mamba install -c conda-forge nutpie pymc (inside your pymc\_env)

i specified python=3.10.6 this is what is working for me. a month ago numba didn’t have support for python 3.11 (i think now it does?? but you’ll have to test it yourself, so just use 3.10.6).

once everything is setup you can pip install jupyter notebook. jupyter lab or anything else that you use. i dont recommend spyder, haven’t used it in years. VS-code user.

Hi all, I have got the same problem recently. While using archlinux, the newest version of numpy (1.26.0) caused the error message about not finding blas. However, downgrading the numpy to 1.25.2 resolved the issue

pymc-marketing is not installed by default on Colab you need to install it on the first cell with `!pip install`. This thread however is not about PyMC-Marketing so you should open a new one if you need help

Dang. I hope the installation doesn’t become `conda`-only.
