How to install yfinance correctly

8.3k views Asked by At

I am new to python and I want to make a program to view stock data. When I try to install yfinance using this command: pip install yfinance it gives me the following error:

ERROR: Command errored out with exit status 1:

      Note: if you need reliable uninstall behavior, then install
      with pip instead of using `setup.py install`:

        - `pip install .`       (from a git repo or downloaded source
                                 release)
        - `pip install numpy`   (last NumPy release on PyPi)

I am not sure why this is caused. I running my python directly from atom, but it gives me the same problem when I run the command from cmd it gives me the same error. It downloads the library correctly, but the error happens when it tries to install it. It is the first library which I try to install with python.
