Hi Ran, in step 1.7 "Setup Local Python Environment" I have an issue. After going through all the steps, I receive the following message:

"An error occurred while initializing the dbt project"

@jrjordanrh1992 This is likely a python environemnt problem. two things to help me help you

1. confirm python version

• [ ] go to .venv/pyvenv.cfg and snip and upload as a comment to this issue. it should be python 3.10.11

2. Make sure your python environment is active

• [ ] go to your terminal
• [ ] check if there is a (venv) (see green venv text that prefiexes my direction (.venv) PS C:\Users\rl627\Desktop\Git\duckdb-dbt-template>
• [ ] If not then activate the python environment by entering .\.venv\Scripts\activate and hit enter

let me know how these two things work.

Thanks Ran for the fast response!

1. I have version 3.11.3.

2. I have the green (venv):

Should I change to version 3.10.11?

yup. if you change to 3.10.11 it will work.

[ran-codes]

• [ ] install python3.10 from microsoft store
• [ ] delete you existing venv folder
• [ ] follow from step 1.7 https://drexel-uhc.github.io/analytics-corner/pages/manuals/dbt/get-started-install.html#setup-local-python-environment

@jrjordanrh1992 can you confirm your DBT setup is done. Feel free to close this issue if it is!
