Cannot install librosa python, how can I uninstall llvmlite?

Question

I have recently tried to install librosa on Windows using pip install librosa. Nevertheless, this error appears:

Cannot uninstall 'llvmlite'. It is a distutils installed project and thus we cannot accurately determine which files belong to it which would lead to only a partial uninstall.

As a solution, I have executed conda update --all, and conda install numba=0.39.0, without any improvement.

Thank you in advanced.

You just have to type the command you want to execute with the --user tag. In your case, it would be:

pip install librosa --user

This worked (got through install), however when I try to import the installed library, it does not show up.. – Diedrediefenbaker

Let me try to help.

I recently faced that problem and get rid from it by using following command.

--ignore-installed

But how do I use it? I've tried pip install librosa --ignore-installed but I get the same error – Monocular
