can't pip install bpy

[ParastooJ]

Hello,

When I try pip install bpy, I get the following error message. Do you know what this might be about. I am using python 3.7.3.

CMake Error at /home/parastooj/anaconda3/envs/emtoolschool/lib/python3.7/site-packages/cmake/data/share/cmake-3.14/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:137 (message):

Could NOT find PythonLibsUnix (missing: PYTHON_LIBRARY PYTHON_LIBPATH PYTHON_INCLUDE_DIR PYTHON_INCLUDE_CONFIG_DIR)
Call Stack (most recent call first):

Thanks!

It looks like you are trying to install bpy in a Linux Environment. This is something I need help with because I don't have the time or resources to look into the linux builds (I code these repos on my"free time" i.e time in which I am not being paid and does nothing to aid in my livelihood).

It is related to this issue and really can be quite difficult to track down given the sheer number of possible Linux distributions.

Also, bpy only works on 3.6 variants of python (and even then only on Windows). It's a known issue that I am working to address on Windows referenced here.

It is possible to build the Blender runtime as a Python module but you will be required to follow the instructions here. Please let me know if you need any assistance in this effort.

Can you please provide some additional details about the error you are facing?

What is your environment? Am I correct in assuming it is Linux? CPython?

If no additional details are provided in a week I am going to close the issue.

Closing as no additional details were provided

Hi, I am on macOS Catalina 10.15.3. Installation errors out:

Any chance this could be revived?

UPDATE

Even though I am on python 3.7, I had to run these for the bpy installation to start:

• pip install -U future-fstrings
• pip install -U setuptools

@Rolandisimo If you are on MacOS, then please see this link

Please follow the discussion of the Mac platform at issue #2 ; I have not been able to push this out as a pip-installable due to various inconsistencies that I have faced with different platforms. I am hoping people with domain experience can assist in by contributing! I am primarily a Windows developer, so it's kind of like learning a foreign language for me.

Thanks for your patience.
