Created on 4 Jun 2018  路  2Comments  路  Source: giampaolo/psutil

I am installing apache airflow as per the installation steps provided at https://airflow.apache.org/start.html#quick-start

First Step - export AIRFLOW_HOME=~/airflow (No error)
Second Step - pip install apache-airflow (No error)
Third Step - airflow initdb ( Error - ImportError: cannot import name '_psutil_linux')

Detailed of error is on url - https://i.stack.imgur.com/3kxBY.png

Environment detail is as below-
Python Version - Python 3.6.3 :: Anaconda custom (32-bit)
Pip Version - 10.0.1
Ubuntu Version - 14.04 LTS
OS Type - 32 bits

How should I go on resolving it? I have already tried updating pip but that does not work.

Hello, sorry for the delay. That looks like a broken psutil installation. Try to pip uninstall psutil. Also, I wrote this script which should help solve this kind of situations:

Hope this helps.
