Getting error while installing vaex in Pycharm with Python3.8 I have installed below before running this on my Win-10 64-bit:

- pep517 v0.8.1
- pip v19.3.1

Error logs:

ERROR: Could not build wheels for pyarrow which use PEP 517 and cannot be installed directly.

Any idea, what I am missing?

Answer 1

pip3 install --upgrade pip

pip3 install cmake

Answer 2

Are you able to install CMake in your system? I had the same issue and I used pip3 install cmake.
