Installation problem in Ubuntu 18.04 about langstats HOT 9 CLOSED

@Tuhin-thinks
Please try running the following to get it to install on Ubuntu:

cd /home/username/Programming/Repositories/
sudo git clone git://git.cairographics.org/git/pycairo
sudo apt-get install libcairo2-dev libjpeg-dev  libgif-dev
cd pycairo
sudo python3 setup.py install

from langstats.

Same error 😞
When I run pip3 install pycairo it also craches with same error.

@enesdemirag Can you confirm that you are also on Ubuntu?

@Destaq Yes. Ubuntu 20.04

Alright, try the above command. If that doesn't work, try running this as well:

sudo apt-get install libcairo2-dev libjpeg-dev libgif-dev

I'm not an Ubuntu user, so I can't really comment as much as I'd want on this. I'm searching Stack Overflow and docs for you.

Also, make sure you have pkg-config installed, you can install it with brew install pkg-config.

If all else fails, this should do the trick:

1. sudo apt install libcairo2-dev
2. sudo apt install libgirepository1.0-dev
   Please let me know if this works.

It works. After installing pycairo successfully, I ran python3 -m pip install -e . inside the language-statistics repo and it's installed without any error. Thanks.

@enesdemirag Super, I'm glad to hear that : ). I'll add the special installation for Ubuntu in the README, but since it seems like it works for you, I'm closing this issue until then. Please reopen it if there is any other issue. Happy statistics-ing!

yes, I have installed the pycario package library and now, it's working fine.
