Fbprophet Installation Error - Failed Building Wheel for Fbprophet

Error pip installing fbprophet, pystan installed fine, I tried different versions. My python is 3.6.7, tried all the answers suggested before

Here is what I tried and worked for me! At this point I started to learn that finding the right versions to download to ur system is like unlocking/cracking a safe and u have to find the right combination. So here is what worked for me. A lot suggested to use older versions of pystan and fbprophet. The ones that worked for me were:

pip install pystan==2.18.0.0

pip install fbprophet==0.6

Make sure to download Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 or a newer version, otherwise, you will get an error during installing fbprophet:

"error: Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 is required. Get it with "Microsoft Visual C++ Build Tools": http://landinghub.visualstudio.com/visual-cpp-build-tools."

Here is the link to download it: https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/visual-cpp-build-tools/
It will download Visual Studio Installer for u, which will pick the necessary tools for u (about 6 Gb).
After that I was able to install fbprophet and import.
There are other suggestions like using Anaconda in other posts, or using a different version of pystan and fbprophet. Good luck!

Running setup.py install for fbprophet ... error

To solve this problem, I uninstalled my existing python 3.7 and anaconda. I re-installed anaconda with one key difference.

I registered Anaconda as my default Python 3.7 during the Anaconda installation. This lets visual studio, PyDev and other programs automatically detect Anaconda as the primary version to use.
