Analyze pip install ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement

Python Help

I have a requirement file, and try to install it by:
pip install -r requirement .txt

It fails on a specific package with this error: ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement

I know the package does exist, in the correct index, so I guess it points on a version conflict.
However, I don’t know how can I analyze it. I tried with pipdeptree, but it lisst the deps for the already installed packages, not for the problematic package.

I’ll appreciate any idea, how can I solve it.

thanks!

Can you show the error that you are getting?

ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement <package_name> (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for <package_name>

Can you provide a screenshot?

unfortunately not (security policy of my company…)

To be honest, I have never seen someone attempting to install a text file using pip install which is what you are implying with the following:

But if you are missing a required package, you generally install it via the following command in the command prompt.

pip install package_name_here

No, that isn’t what’s happening there. Please see the documentation for the -r option for Pip. It’s very common to do things this way:

Sorry to say, without knowing which package it is or what else is currently happening in your Python environment, it will be difficult to impossible to offer any meaningful help.

Are you sure that this is the command you are running? It would be more common to use:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Copy and paste what you are using, don’t retype it.

python3.7 -m pip install -r requirements.txt

the requirements.txt file looks like:

pandas>=1.1.5,<2
pyarrow>=2.0.0,<15.0.0
problematic_package

10

And to be clear, you can watch it installing Pandas and pyarrow successfully?

11

yes, it installed them successfully.

I am running into the same issue.

Versions I use:

  • Python 3.10.12
  • Pip 22.0.2

In my requirments.txt file i Have the following
splunk-sdk~=1.7.0

Command I use to run the pip install

python -m pip install --upgrade --platform manylinux2014_x86_64 --python-version 3.9 --only-binary=:all: -r requirments.txt --ignore-installed --target .

Here is the error I get:

Hope someone has some solution or info on why this is not working : )

It’s because you specify --only-binary=:all:, but at least one of the packages in your requirements.txt, specifically splunk-sdk, does not provide a binary.

Try removing --only-binary=:all: from your command.

I am also encountering the same problem while installing Netpyne using in conda3 environment. ubuntu 18.04.

can anyone help me i a am new to this not able to understand how does this work?

You are using Python 2.7, which is 15 years old and went out of support five years ago. The Python ecosystem has long since moved on; you cannot expect to be able to pip install anything to such ancient software.

Upgrade to Python 3.

I am also facing similar issue, what to do resolve the issue?

Open a new topic where you describe your issue in detail.

Go to pypi.org and lookup the package name that causes the error. Next, check what it says under “Meta” and “Requires”. For example, in the bpy package we see this:

That means you need to use python 3.11 to install this.

You can check which version of Python that pip is using by running:

pip --version
