1 error generated.
error: command '/usr/bin/clang' failed with exit code 1

note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.

Guidelines

• I have read and understood this category's guidelines before making this post.

[MadhushaPrasad]

I think the error is when you're encountering a issue during the installation of the Prophet library, particularly with the 'ephem' dependency. Here are some steps that you can take to resolve this issue:

• Update System:
  Make sure your system is up to date using sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade.
• Install Dependencies:
  Install libffi-dev with sudo apt-get install libffi-dev.
• Python Compatibility:
  Check if Prophet is compatible with Python 3.11/3.12. Try Python 3.9/3.10. , I think most suitable version is the v3.9 try it.Because why I am saying like this, I got some errors during installation of some libs in v3.11 and its fixed after moving to v3.9, so go & try that version.
• Compiler Compatibility:
  Ensure a compatible C compiler with sudo apt-get install build-essential.
• Use Virtual Environment:
  Create a virtual environment and install Prophet within it some it will be fixed inside the v.environment.
• Specify Versions:
  Try installing specific versions of ephem and prophet.

If you have not referred to the official documentation for any specific instructions that will also help solve this issue, they mention some versions that can be installed in the minimum supported Python version.like below

    From v0.6 onwards, Python 2 is no longer supported.
    As of v1.0, the package name on PyPI is “prophet”; prior to v1.0 it was “fbprophet”.
    As of v1.1, the minimum supported Python version is 3.7.

This is the installation message, and if you see, there are several errors. I tried using another version of Python 3.9 and followed the recommendations, but it didn't work (I'm using a MacBook Air M2).
