Python setup.py bdist_wheel did not run successfully mac

by

To run the command python setup.py bdist_wheel successfully on macOS, there are a few things you need to ensure:

  1. Python: Make sure you have Python installed on your Mac. You can check the installed version by running python --version in the terminal.
  2. Directory: Navigate to the directory that contains the setup.py file. You can use the cd command in the terminal to change the directory.
  3. Dependencies: Check if the necessary dependencies for your Python project are installed. If not, you can use package managers like pip or conda to install them. For example, to install a package named “numpy”, you can run pip install numpy in the terminal.
  4. Virtual Environment (optional): Consider creating a virtual environment to isolate the project dependencies. This step is optional but recommended for better project management. You can create a virtual environment using venv or virtualenv. For example, to create a virtual environment named “myenv”, you can run python -m venv myenv in the terminal.
  5. Command: Finally, run the command python setup.py bdist_wheel in the terminal. This command will build a Python wheel distribution of your project.

Here’s an example of the complete process:

$ cd /path/to/project
$ python -m venv myenv
$ source myenv/bin/activate
$ pip install numpy
$ python setup.py bdist_wheel

Make sure to replace /path/to/project with the actual path to your project directory.
