I'm getting the same issue

Same

[crcrpar]

File "/home/glm/apex/setup.py", line 4, in from packaging.version import parse, Version ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'packaging'

could you install packaging and retry?

[pkosel]

That solved it for me.

[fazlicodes]

Doesn't work for me, packaging already installed

[honeysuckcle]

could you install packaging and retry?

It works. Thank you!

I came to the same situation. I have solved it by installing the packaging by conda install packaging rather than pip install packaging.

And APEX gets installed successfully for me.

same problem， Using pip 22.3.1 from /home/panz/anaconda3/envs/gpt/lib/python3.8/site-packages/pip (python 3.8) WARNING: Implying --no-binary=:all: due to the presence of --build-option / --global-option / --install-option. Consider using --config-settings for more flexibility. DEPRECATION: --no-binary currently disables reading from the cache of locally built wheels.

Thanks, I solved it by change to this version, but there are some weird warning while I was installing, but eventually installed, if I meet some problem after, I'll leave a comment here.

[EvelynXZY]

Got the same error.

try add --no-build-isolation flag in pip install.

combined with downgrading setuptools from version 70 works! pip uninstall -y setuptools pip install setuptools==69.5.1

I'm just kind of give up on apex, it even don't have a stable version, so. I may play with it later, I just want the job done, haha. Thanks.
