If you are experiencing broken dependencies with pip, there are a few steps you can try to fix the issue:
- Upgrade pip: Try running
pip install --upgrade pip
to upgrade to the latest version of pip. - Clear the cache: Try clearing your pip cache by running
pip cache purge
. - Force reinstall packages: If you suspect that a specific package is causing the issue, try force reinstalling it by running
pip install --force-reinstall <package-name>
. - Use a virtual environment: If the above steps don’t work, it might be best to create a virtual environment for your project and install the required packages within the isolated environment. You can create a virtual environment using:
python -m venv env
Activate the virtual environment by running:
source env/bin/activate
Then try running pip install -r requirements.txt
to install the required packages within the virtual environment.
If you are still experiencing issues with broken dependencies, you may need to manually resolve the issue by installing missing dependencies or updating incompatible ones.
