Prophet Facebook

[Eduard Arán Calonja]

Hi everyone!!

I am new to App Engine. I am trying to deploy a webapp, which is working correctly in Heroku (Python). Once I try to import one of the packages that I need to run the web app (fbprophet form Python), the installing process never ends...

I type in the cloud shell: python3.7 -m pip install fbprophet --user

It starts correctly, without no problem, but after a long time the shell goes without connection and I need to restart it (see attached photo). In conclusion I cannot install this package...

I would like to know what's the problem or what I am doing wrong. If anyone could help me, I would be really pleased!

Thanks you in advance!

Hello Eduard, 

You also need a appengine_config.py file, and other configuration settings to install your library, as detailed on the "Using Python 2 libraries" documentation page. 

Are there enough resources available? If you are using a VM, be aware that you will need at least 4GB of memory to install fbprophet, and at least 2GB of memory to use fbprophet. 

This discussion group is oriented more towards general opinions, trends, and issues of general nature touching the app engine. For coding and program architecture, as well as importing third-party Python libraries, you may be better served in dedicated forums such as stackoverflow, where experienced programmers are within reach and ready to help.
