Trouble Installing ChatterBot: subprocess-exited-with-error While Processing PyYAML


I tried to install chatterbot using pip install chatterbot, but I got the following error:

  note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.

I have tried all of the following, nothing worked for me, the error still persists:

Any ideas? Thanks.


Solution

  • Information available on PyPi shows that ChatterBot Requires: Python >=3.4, <=3.8. This means there's no support for your Python 3.10.

    You may have to downgrade to Python 3.8 to use this package. See https://pypi.org/project/ChatterBot/#data
