Simplecv: memoryerror

Hi,
If anyone can help on this.. I am working on barcode scanning. This issue is giving me a brick wall.
Help me please!

Hi,
Sorry I cannot help - I am getting exactly the same Memory Error. I am using a clean install of Raspbian Stretch.
I hope someone is reading these issues, who can help.

Try this site and download manualy , it worked for me

http://simplecv.readthedocs.io/en/latest/HOWTO-Install%20on%20RaspberryPi.html

mkdir ~/Code
cd ~/Code
git clone git://github.com/sightmachine/SimpleCV.git
cd SimpleCV
sudo pip install -r requirements.txt
sudo python setup.py develop

@keefo149 : if we do what you suggest, we get

Collecting PIL (from -r requirements.txt (line 3))
Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement PIL (from -r requirements.txt (line 3)) (from versions: )
No matching distribution found for PIL (from -r requirements.txt (line 3))

We are on raspbian stretch.

Same problem(s) here - MemoryError and cannot do the manual download.

Raspberry Pi3 with Stretch

I am getting the same Memory Error too.

help please !

Faced the same issue... solved by adding --no-cache-dir to the pip install:

sudo pip install https://github.com/sightmachine/SimpleCV/zipball/master --no-cache-dir

@shakeeltariq THANK YOU. That saved my rpi build.
