Fiona built error when running conda env update

Part 1 (2018)

Hi,

I am following the procedure listed on fastai github site

Normal installation
Download project: git clone https://github.com/fastai/fastai.git
Move into root folder: cd fastai
Set up Python environment: conda env update

But I got the following error messages. How to solve this problem. The machine is Windows 10. Thanks.

  error: command 'C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft Visual Studio\\2017\\Community\\VC\\Tools\\MSVC\\14.14.26428\\bin\\HostX86\\x64\\cl.exe' failed with exit status 2

+1 :frowning: Win 7 - 64bit for CPU mode

I solved installing Fiona with the wheels file.

  • Download the last versione of the file at this link (pay attention to the 32-64bit version)
  • launch ‘pip install path/to/Fiona.whl’
  • try again with ‘conda env update’

I did the cpu version, but I think it should work anyway.

I am getting the same error on Windows 10. Steps suggested by @MatteoFelici unfortunately didn’t help. Any other suggestion?

I do have the exact same problem

I have the exact same problem. Hopefully someone suggests a solution.

Thank you, it worked for me :slight_smile:

I’ve tried the solution suggested by @MatteoFelici , and installed fiona using ‘conda install fiona’. Both attempts did not solve the problem. Any other suggestions?
