Why ImportError: No module named lightgbm
Question:
My OS is Ubuntu, and I’ve followed the official installation guide to install lightgbm. However, when I import it, this error is raised:
ImportError: No module named lightgbm
How can I solve this?
Do I also need to go to /python-package folder to run setup.py after running those linux commandlines?
Answers:
Besides running those linux command lines. I also need to go to /python-package then run ‘python setup.py install’.
For Windows users, VC runtime <https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=746572> is needed if Visual Studio (2015 or 2017) is not installed.
Install wheel <http://pythonwheels.com> via pip install wheel first. After that download the wheel file and install from it:
pip install lightgbm
The following should do the trick:
export PATH=/usr/local/bin/anaconda3/bin${PATH:+:${PATH}}
PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/usr/local/bin/anaconda3/lib/python3.6/site-packages
Note that you might need to change the paths if you are using a different Python version.
Thank you for above question and answers, had a similar issue.
Problem:
After successfull install of lightgbm, I was getting the error ImportError: No module named 'lightgbm' (in Jupyter Notebook on Google Cloud’s Notebook Instance in AI Platform project).
Issue:
Realized that the install of lightgbm was in Python 2.7 even when the notebook was running in Python 3 (path: ‘./.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages‘).
Solution:
The error was gone after the Jupyter Notebook was set to run on Python 2 instead of Python 3.
I had the same problem, and solved running the installation directly on the notebook
!pip install lightgbm
conda install -c conda-forge lightgbm solved the problem for me
you need just run in a notebook cell before importing
within Jupyter Notebook cell is: try running
import sys
!{sys.executable} -m pip install lightgbm
With python try, from pypi.org, this line
pip install lightgbm
or
pip3 install lightgbm
Also, you can try this one if you use anaconda
conda install lightgbm
