Root Cause

The requested package requires a different version of an already installed package, causing a dependency conflict.

generic

中文

请求的包需要已安装包的不同版本，导致依赖冲突。

Workarounds

  1. 95% success Use a virtual environment to isolate dependencies 
    python -m venv myenv
source myenv/bin/activate
pip install mypackage
  2. 85% success Upgrade or downgrade conflicting package 
    pip install 'requests>=2.26.0'

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. Ignoring dependency with --no-deps 70% fail

    Installs package without dependencies, may break at runtime.

  2. Forcing install with --ignore-installed 60% fail

    Overwrites existing package; may break other installed packages.
