Installation of Python-Rocksdb

Question

I'm trying to install Python-RocksDB package.

I tried using sudo pip3 install python-rocksdb sudo pip install python-rocksdb

However, I get this message Requirement already satisfied: python-rocksdb in /usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages

I also tried cloning the github repository and installing it from source. Somehow that doesn't get installed either. Is there anything else to resolve this?

Answer 1

Install rocksdb and Cython.

Simplified :

Solution 1

pip install Cython
pip install python-rocksdb

Solution 2

pip install git+git://github.com/twmht/python-rocksdb.git

Try the manual method :

    git clone https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb.git
    cd rocksdb
    mkdir build && cd build
    cmake ..
    make
    sudo make install INSTALL_PATH=/usr

Now you have rocksdb installed, Then make a new python virtual environment:

pip install python-rocksdb
