Installation problems

I get the following error message:

$ pip3 install deepspeech
Collecting deepspeech
Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement deepspeech (from versions: )
No matching distribution found for deepspeech

What can I do?

Give us context on your system ?

pip3 install --verbose deepspeech as well?

about my system:

Description: Ubuntu 16.04.5 LTS
Release: 16.04
Codename: xenial

with
pip3 install --verbose deepspeech
I get a long error message, this is the last part:

my python version:
$ pip3 -V
pip 18.0 from /usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/pip (python 3.5)

That’s unfortunate, we would actually need to have a look at the whole :/. Also, please please ensure you use proper code formatting when posting such result, because otherwise useful information might get lost.

Just did a test, it works for me: https://taskcluster-artifacts.net/KUfzbL1nSriyd8C5wcZtDg/0/public/logs/live_backing.log

Hm /usr/local, that’s not pip3 from the distro?

Also works if I pip3 install --upgade pip and then use /usr/local/bin/pip3: https://taskcluster-artifacts.net/GAZK8IkMTPiNb6IH75H4HQ/0/public/logs/live_backing.log

sorry, its to long for this editor, so I can only copy the beginning:

the distro installation has failed so I used another one, look here: (but it is in german.)
https://forum.ubuntuusers.de/topic/installation-von-deep-speech-bzw-python3-pip-g/

Well, post it somewhere else, but there’s nothing I can do from here.

As documented earlier, it’s working both with distro’s pip and upgraded pip. Looking at the thread, other people helping you are able to install, so there’s something going on with your system. Please share as much as details as possible.

Use pastebin.com if it helps?

As you can see on https://pypi.org/project/deepspeech/#files we have a couple of wheels available … :slight_smile:

@horald Maybe give a try to a virualenv, who knows, there might be something on your system and using a virtualenv might help avoid it?
