Failing in installing esp-matter sdk

[Mr-Alirezaa]

I followed the guide on how to install the prerequisites and esp-idf and esp-matter SDKs on my mac machine using the documentation linked in the project. ESP Matter SDK fails to install when I run ./install.sh. Here is the last few line of the error output:

I also explained and provided more info about the installation issue on the esp-matter repo itself. espressif/esp-matter#1021

This issue does not directly relate to this repository but I'm asking for help if anyone has encountered and fixed it.

Here is the solution to the this problem: espressif/esp-matter#1021 (comment)

Before installing download the patch from the comment linked above.

cd connectedhomeip/connectedhomeip
git apply path/to/change_python_pkg_version.patch
rm -rf .environment
cd ../../
source ~/esp/esp-idf/export.sh
./install.sh

Replace path/to/change_python_pkg_version.patch with the actual path.
