Installing via pip: ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement anki==23.10

Anki Help
1

Hello, I am trying to install Anki in Termux using pip from the instructions at https://betas.ankiweb.net/. I’ve slightly modified them for my purposes for reasons which I’m hoping are unrelated to my issue:

  1. Termux currently has Python 3.11.6 in its repos instead of 3.9
  2. I want to install the stable version of Anki, rather than a beta so I’ve removed the --pre flag
  3. I had to specify aqt==23.10 because without it, pip will “successfully” install aqt-2.1.25 which is a release occured prior to the ARM64 packaged builds (these started at 2.1.50 I believe).

Everything goes smoothly until the final step:

pyenv/bin/pip  install --upgrade  aqt==23.10                                                 Collecting aqt==23.10                                                                              Using cached aqt-23.10-py3-none-any.whl.metadata (748 bytes)                                   Requirement already satisfied: beautifulsoup4 in ./pyenv/lib/python3.11/site-packages (from aqt==23.10) (4.12.2)                                                                                  Collecting flask (from aqt==23.10)                                                                 Using cached flask-3.0.0-py3-none-any.whl.metadata (3.6 kB)                                    Collecting flask_cors (from aqt==23.10)                                                            Using cached Flask_Cors-4.0.0-py2.py3-none-any.whl.metadata (5.4 kB)                           Requirement already satisfied: jsonschema in ./pyenv/lib/python3.11/site-packages (from aqt==23.10) (4.19.2)                                                                                      Requirement already satisfied: requests in ./pyenv/lib/python3.11/site-packages (from aqt==23.10) (2.31.0)                                                                                        Requirement already satisfied: send2trash in ./pyenv/lib/python3.11/site-packages (from aqt==23.10) (1.8.2)                                                                                       Collecting waitress>=2.0.0 (from aqt==23.10)                                                       Using cached waitress-2.1.2-py3-none-any.whl (57 kB)                                           INFO: pip is looking at multiple versions of aqt to determine which version is compatible with other requirements.

I’d greatly appreciate any help.

Weird, I’m on aarch64 and I just ran pip install --upgrade aqt a few minutes ago to successfully install version 23.10.1.

That is with Python 3.12.0 and pip 23.3.1. Did you try any other versions?

The wheels require glibc. Assuming you are on aarch64, your system probably either has an old glibc, or is using something else like musl.
