Mac OSX 10.13 always get installing Zipline stuck

[burkaslarry]

Dear Zipline Maintainers,

I need help on installation
1 Always stuck on

Using cached zipline-1.1.1.tar.gz

pip installed as 8.1.0

[burkaslarry]

while pip install --verbose zipline

Hi @burkaslarry , I've definitely seen slowness while setuptools is easy_installing setup dependencies. Maybe it's progressing but slowly?

Either way, want to try pip install numpy cython first, and then try pip install zipline after? Then it can avoid the easy_install.

Usually how long does it take for setup.py to be finished ? I have tried using verbose, got repeating numpy warnings

Installing collected packages: zipline
  Running setup.py install for zipline ... /

like this one. repeatedly

The module is building 'zipline.assets.continuous_futures' extension

I don't have any broad stats, but on my machine, it took about 2 minutes just now.

Maybe we have to tell others installing by these steps : (Mac OSX 10.13.1)

pip install -upgrade pip
python -m pip
brew update
ram get stable
rvm install 1.9.3
pip install numpy
pip install cython
pip install -U setuptools
pip install h5py
pip install zipline

[richafrank]

I buy that - probably a best practice to install numpy and cython before installing zipline. Opened a PR.

pip install numpy cython

did the trick per @richafrank, thank you!

Looks like this one has long since been resolved. Feel free to reopen if you're still having trouble!
