libicu-dev (PyICU dependency)
brew uninstall --ignore-dependencies icu4c
brew install pkg-config icu4c # keg-only
PyICU (pypostal dependency)
pip uninstall pyicu
export PATH="/usr/local/opt/icu4c/bin:/usr/local/opt/icu4c/sbin:$PATH"
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:/usr/local/opt/icu4c/lib/pkgconfig"

pip install --no-binary=:pyicu: pyicu # avoid wheels from previous runs or PyPI
libpostal (pypostal dependency)
One-liner (using HEAD as v1.1 was released in 2018):
brew install --HEAD robsalasco/libpostal/libpostal
Or manually:
brew install curl autoconf automake libtool pkg-config gcc@8
export CC="/usr/local/bin/gcc-8"
alias gcc="gcc-8"
git clone https://github.com/openvenues/libpostal.git
cd libpostal
./bootstrap.sh
./configure --datadir="${HOME}/.libpostal"
make -j4
sudo make install
pip install postal
# test installation by parsing an example address
python -c "from postal.parser import parse_address; my_address = '123 Beech Lake Ct. Roswell, GA 30076'; print({v: k for k, v in dict(parse_address(my_address)).items()})"
# {'house_number': '123', 'road': 'beech lake ct.', 'city': 'roswell', 'state': 'ga', 'postcode': '30076'}
Hi @iyabchen, thanks for your reply. I just did a succesfull install of
pyicu==2.6.0
on a mint machine, by making sure itssetup.py
(which attempts to use the deprecatedicu-config
, but falls back topkg-config
) finds brew's keg-only icupkgconfig
. No more manual setting of compiler flags :)I've updated the gist with this simplification, and also added
brew install robsalasco/libpostal/libpostal
.
