Hi,
I am trying to install nupic on Mac OS,
I tried to install with
python setup.py install
and
ARCHFLAGS="-arch x86_64" python setup.py install
but in both cases the following error showed up:
Reading https://pypi.python.org/simple/nupic.bindings/
No local packages or download links found for nupic.bindings==0.4.5.dev0
error: Could not find suitable distribution for Requirement.parse(‘nupic.bindings==0.4.5.dev0’)
I checked the link, and there’s no 0.4.5
Can someone help me ?
Thanks!

If you are going to manually install NuPIC, you must compile nupic.core locally as well. This should still be pretty much valid:
Hi,
When I tried to use make -j3 to build a software, the system complained :
– The CXX compiler identification is unknown
– Check for working CXX compiler: /opt/local/bin/c++
– Check for working CXX compiler: /opt/local/bin/c++ – broken
CMake Error at /opt/local/share/cmake-3.3/Modules/CMakeTestCXXCompiler.cmake:54 (message):
The C++ compiler “/opt/local/bin/c++” is not able to compile a simple test
program.
So I used
make -j3 CXX=‘PATH_TO_G++’
The complier is still the same.
Check for working CXX compiler: /Users/pohsuanhuang/miniconda/envs/nupic/bin/c++
– Check for working CXX compiler: /Users/pohsuanhuang/miniconda/envs/nupic/bin/c++ – broken
Is it because the makefile doesn’t use $CXX and $CC as compiler variables ?
How can I specify my CXX and C compiler ?
Thanks !

@lets.lincredible What version of OS X are you using? My c++ executable is in /usr/bin/.

/usr/bin/c++
Hi, Matt,
My Mac is in 10.11.3
My c++ in in/opt/local/bin/c++ because I used MacPort to install gcc
pohsuanhuang$ c++ -v
Using built-in specs.

You can specify your compiler by setting the appropriate CMake variables via command line:
-DCMAKE_C_COMPILER="/path/to/your/c/compiler/executable"
-DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER="/path/to/your/c++/compiler/executable"
So in case you’re compiling nupic.core, your CMake call should look like this (make sure to wipe your build/release directory before running cmake):
cmake $NUPIC_CORE -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=../release -DPY_EXTENSIONS_DIR=$NUPIC_CORE/bindings/py/nupic/bindings -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER="/opt/local/bin/c++"
Since not all externals in nupic.core use CMake, you additionally have to set the environment variable before running make:
CXX=/opt/local/bin/c++ make -j3
Hi, Helge,
Thanks for reply.
I tried it already, and I don’t know why it didn’t help.
I have several sets of compilers.
one in > usr/bin, one in > opt/local/bin , and one in Conda
/Users/pohsuanhuang/miniconda/envs/nupic/bin/c++
Does it matter with one to use ?
No, it shouldn’t.
Could you please copy the whole build output to a gist/to pastebin and copy the link in this thread? Maybe there’s another error we can’t see right now.
Thank you. So the real cause is:
c++: error: unrecognized command line option ‘-stdlib=libc++’
make[4]: *** [CMakeFiles/cmTC_31902.dir/testCXXCompiler.cxx.o] Error 1
make[3]: *** [cmTC_31902/fast] Error 2
The c++ binary doesn’t know this option. I’m not sure if nupic fully supports gcc on osx.
Did you try to use clang instead of gcc (-DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=clang++)?
Hi, Helge,
Thanks for the help.
Following your suggestions, I tried
CXX=’/usr/bin/clang++7’ make -j3
And I removed the build folder, and tried to generate the build file all over again with -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=clang++, but it failed.
Your output shows the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named capnp
You could try to install pycapnp before running cmake (pip install pycapnp).
Hi, Helge,
Thanks for the help.
I somehow managed to make it work.
It seemed I have to assigne the path to the correct PYTHONPATH to let cmake find pycapnp.
I am not sure if that’s the reason it didn’t succeed in building the file before.
However, now I have new problems.
I got to ./nupic where I git clone nupic.
and I run
./script/run_nupi_tests -u
as suggests in the video, and I saw the the following error message
Traceback (most recent call last): File "./scripts/run_nupic_tests.py", line 263, in <module> os.chdir(os.getenv('NUPIC')) TypeError: coercing to Unicode: need string or buffer, NoneType found
The required py.test is in the path variable

Can you help me ? Thanks!
Seems you don’t have the $NUPIC environment variable defined.
export NUPIC=<path-to-your-nupic-directory>/nupic
(see https://github.com/numenta/nupic/wiki/Compiling-NuPIC-on-Ubuntu-15#set-some-environment-vars)
Hi Helge,
Thank you for the help. I have haven’t solved the problem. I will come back in a few days.
Best,
