Usually this indicates PyStan is not working. Could you check my comment in #715 and see if it is working?
Are you by chance using Anacdona?

Hi Bletham,
Thanks for your replying.
I used IDE(pycharm) to run your suggestion code(#715), it will show errors as below

PyStan is not working, right?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
But I used Anacdona, I ran your suggestion code, it would show message as below

INFO:pystan:COMPILING THE C++ CODE FOR MODEL anon_model_5944b02c79788fa0db5b3a93728ca2bf NOW.

The result is ok?
If the result is OK, do you why the reason is ?(Anacdona is ok, but pycharm is not ok)

That is correct, it looks like it is not working in PyCharm's python (system python?) but is working in Anaconda. Anaconda has a separate build system with its own C++ compiler, so it seems that its is working correctly while the system one is not.

I don't have enough experience debugging pystan installs in OSX to say what to do to get it working in PyCharm, but if you can use Anaconda then fbprophet should work there, since PyStan is working. Install it with conda forge:

conda install -c conda-forge fbprophet

Hi Bletham,
Thanks for your help.
I thought my problem had solved.

[saravanansaminathan]

For pip install users change the python interpreter to python 3.7 issue will get solved. With python 3.6 interpreter pystan and fbprophet problem comes

[dishantgrover]

Pip couldn't install it even with python 3.7. The same error that DLL couldn't be loaded was received.

[RSwarnkar]

I am trying to build a _docker_ container with fbprophet but I am getting similar error.

Thank you so much ! This command worked well for me on conda python 3.7 on windows 10. Now I don't have to download 5 gigs of Visual studio.

[ElLorans]

I was able to install fbprophet and pystan on Windows without Anaconda following http://y-okamoto-psy1949.la.coocan.jp/Python/en1/PyStanInstalling/. I installed the components for C++ development of Desktop Applications and everything worked fine.

Thanks! works perfectly from PyCharm on Windows 10.

[praveen6993]

conda install -c conda-forge fbprophet

thank you so much, it worked

[kanhataak]

if using Anaconda prompt install not getting error
conda install -c conda-forge fbprophet
