How to check for the log file when an error occurs while installing a python package
Olivia Zamora
I'm trying to install Networkit package in Windows subsystem for linux. I did
python3.7 -m pip install networkitand the following error occurs
compilation terminated. CMakeFiles/ recipe for target 'CMakeFiles/ failed make[2]: *** [CMakeFiles/ Error 1 CMakeFiles/Makefile2:1395: recipe for target 'CMakeFiles/ failed make[1]: *** [CMakeFiles/ Error 2 Makefile:148: recipe for target 'all' failed make: *** [all] Error 2 Build tool returned an error, exiting setup.py ----------------------------------------

Could someone suggest how to find the path in which I have to look for the log file?

You can specify a log file at the command line when running pip using the --log LOG_FILE argument. For example, pip install click --log LOG_FILE. Taken from this answer.
