Install prophet package

[rapmac13160]

Hi, I need to use predictive features in Superset and it requires the installation of prophet package.

Could you please give me a hand on that?

Can you provide any upstream doc or code link for this with information on how to enable/test this?

Hi, sorry I just saw your answer. I think we just need to install the library in the container directly:

Reading the issue especially https://github.com/apache/superset/issues/20901#issuecomment-1216163031 it seems that if we would ship that python package, other things will break. So I think this needs to be solved upstream first.

Thanks for your reply. What is your plan to implement that though?

[nebulon]

ah I misread the issue there, looks like fixes are merged long ago. Have to look into this again. Since I don't really know superset as an app as such, can you explain how to enable this predictive feature so I can see it failing and look for a fix? From what I can see upstream only has this as a dev-dependency, which we do not install currently https://github.com/apache/superset/blob/master/requirements/development.txt

When you create line chart for example, in the 'Predictive Analytics' section you can tick the option 'ENABLE FORECAST' and then compute the chart.

I can reproduce this one. Making a new package with prophet.
