Unable to import lightgbm after install

问题

My operating system is macOS Sierra, 10.12.5, and I am using Anaconda and python 2.7. After install, and when I try: import lightgbm as lgb I got the following message:

OSError                                   Traceback (most recent call last)

Thanks in advance for your help.

I had the issue as you before. Actually, LightGBM depends on OpenMP for compiling, which isn't supported by Apple Clang. You should install gcc/g++ by using following command:

brew install cmake
brew install gcc --without-multilib

See more details here Hope this can help you.

I followed both (https://github.com/microsoft/LightGBM/issues/1369) and the installation guide from the website (https://lightgbm.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Installation-Guide.html#macos)

Since I have gcc version 9.1.0, I used:

git clone --recursive https://github.com/Microsoft/LightGBM ; cd LightGBM export CXX=g++-9 CC=gcc-9 mkdir build ; cd build cmake .. make -j4

in the implementation of my installation, then I ran:

pip install --no-binary :all: lightgbm

After importing the lightgbm into my jupyter notebook, it gave me the warning of installing the libomp, so I also did:

brew install libomp

Then the warning went away.

I have encountered the same issue on my mac, which is fixed by simply installing OpenMP library.

brew install libomp

For any doubt please visit the installation page here
