Thank you for opening this issue, @kbarrett975.

[matheusfelipeog]

Thank you for providing the complete installation log, @Kamski18.

Try updating your pip, setuptools, and wheel with the following command:

python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip setuptools wheel

After that, try installing the dependencies again:

pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Thanks for the help @matheusfelipeog but I already update using the following command but still get an error

@kbarrett975 @Kamski18 It seems that Termux has issues building the numpy package wheel locally. The pandas package depends on numpy, so this error is generated when the build fails.

I've noticed that this is a common problem in Termux, with several complaints on:

link 2: termux/termux-app#3048

Unfortunately, to use the sherlock project in a Termux environment, you'll have to follow a few extra steps for now.

First, update the package list and install updates:

pkg update && pkg upgrade

Provide the y option for all when prompted.

The Termux community provides a repository of pre-built Python packages, called tur (Termux User Repository). This will avoid having to build some packages locally.

Let's install tur-repo and build-essential, which contains some necessary packages for building other packages:

pkg install build-essential tur-repo

After that, force an update on the package list again:

pkg update

Now, let's install the pre-built pandas and numpy packages globally:

pkg install python-pandas python-numpy

This will install the packages. You can check using:

pip list

Now you are ready to install the sherlock project dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt

---

I personally recommend installing sherlock project dependencies in a virtual environment instead of globally to avoid conflicts with dependencies from other projects.

To create a virtual environment within the locally cloned sherlock project repository, use the following command:

python -m venv --system-site-packages venv

The --system-site-packages flag will copy the packages installed globally to the virtual environment in venv. This ensures that we have pandas and numpy within the virtual environment.

To activate the virtual environment, use the following command:

source venv/bin/activate

Now, you can install the sherlock project dependencies in this virtual environment:

pip install -r requirements.txt

When you finish using sherlock, don't forget to deactivate the virtual environment:

deactivate

I've tested this, and it worked perfectly. I hope it works for you too. If you encounter any other problems, please let me know.
