Installing libxml2 and libxslt in python 3.6

Question

I am having some problems installing lxml 3.6.4 in python 3.6 64bit using Pycharm and PIP.

pip install lxml==3.6.4

ERROR: b"'xslt-config' is not recognized as an internal or external command,\r\noperable program or batch file.\r\n"
** make sure the development packages of libxml2 and libxslt are installed **

When installing libxml

pip install libxml2-dev

I get the following error:

Collecting libxml2-dev
  Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement libxml2-dev (from versions: )
No matching distribution found for libxml2-dev

When running libxslt

pip install libxslt

I get this error

Collecting libxslt
  Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement libxslt (from versions: )
No matching distribution found for libxslt

The ultimate goal is to install pyiso on Pycharm.

My specs - Windows 7 - 64 Python 3.6

These are C libraries, not Python libraries. You may have more luck using e.g. Conda and installing libxml2. — 9769953

on wsl or apt-cyg on cygwin. I've gotten that bit working on both. — pguardiario

On Linux, with the typo corrected, @pguardiario's comment above fixed this for me.

sudo apt-get install libxml2-dev libxslt-dev

Then:

conda install lxml

Or:

pip install lxml
