Errors when installing s3fs on Sagemaker Studio

[ruvilonix]

On a freshly created JupyterLab Space instance (image: SageMaker Distribution 1.6) on SageMaker Studio in AWS, I open the terminal and run pip install s3fs, and it returns some errors during install:

I don't know what transformers.Trainer is, but apparently is depends on a more specific version of s3fs or one of its dependencies. Unfortunately, pip does not guarantee consistency after installation, and indeed it gives you a warning to this effect. You have these choices:

• try to follow pip's recommendations
• go look at that packages and see what they actually need
• install s3fs first, and then the other things you need
• use conda, which does give you consistency between your installed versions

I will close this now, as I don't believe there's anything we can do about it.
