Dependencies Installation Failed - pip install Error

Published 2/24/2026

Symptoms

Command 'pip install -r requirements.txt' fails with version conflicts or compilation errors. Some packages fail to install on specific Python versions.

Root Cause

Incompatible Python version, missing system dependencies, or conflicting package versions. Some packages may require specific compilers or libraries not available on the system.

Solution

Solution Steps

Use the recommended Python version:

python --version  # Should be 3.10 or 3.11
pyenv install 3.11.0
pyenv local 3.11.0

Install system dependencies (Ubuntu/Debian):

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essential python3-dev

Install system dependencies (macOS):
```
brew install [email protected]
```

Use virtual environment:

python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate
pip install --upgrade pip
pip install -r requirements.txt

Fix specific package conflicts:

pip install --upgrade setuptools wheel
pip install -r requirements.txt --no-cache-dir

Verification

Run 'pip list' and confirm that all required packages are installed. Start AutoGPT and verify that no import errors occur.
