Having issues setting up

[Xceptions]

I am a first time contributor to mindsdb and I am having issues setting up. I see that there are three requirements files

• requirements.txt
• requirements-dev.txt
• requirements-test.txt

I have successfully installed requirements-dev.txt but I am having issues installing the other two due to mismatching distributions.
When installing the test

What could be the problem? Is there an order to installing the requirements files? Could there be something I am doing wrong?

[richiesgr]

Same issue on mac os using conda

[ZoranPandovski]

Can you add --no-cache-dir when running pip?

[siddiqskm]

I was facing the same issue and I believe the root cause is due to Python versions > 3.11 in the system

Check the python version from the virtual environment of MindsDB:

python --version

In case the version is > 3.11 - ensure to create a virtual environment using the following command:

python3.11 -m venv mindsdb-venv

Trigger install again and the issue should be resolved !
I guess its a good idea to update documentation as well @ here
