Hi,

I have getting the error below when attempting to install fire.

I've tried installing using "pip install", I've tried downloading the latest version directly from https://pypi.org/project/fire/#files, and tried using pip to install that, and I've tried cloning the repository and installing it that way. But no method is working for me.

I've looked through the issues here on github and the Installation page, but can't find any resolutions.

Can you advise on how I might be able to resolve this please?

Thanks

Thanks for reporting. Does installing other packages work for you?

[brenscar2020]

yes, I can install other packages fine

There's a new version (v0.6.0) on pypi. I don't know that it would make a difference here, but try installing again and lmk.
Going forward we're going to switch to pyproject.toml, so if you're issue isn't already resolved w 0.6.0 it's possible it will be resolved by that next upcoming change.
