"chromadb 0.4.24 depends on onnxruntime>=1.14.1" on python 3.12.3

[prescriptionlifeline]

When I do pip3 install crewai I get this error:

ERROR: Cannot install embedchain because these package versions have conflicting dependencies.

The conflict is caused by:
    chromadb 0.4.24 depends on onnxruntime>=1.14.1
    chromadb 0.4.23 depends on onnxruntime>=1.14.1
    chromadb 0.4.22 depends on onnxruntime>=1.14.1
    chromadb 0.4.21 depends on onnxruntime>=1.14.1
    chromadb 0.4.20 depends on onnxruntime>=1.14.1
    chromadb 0.4.19 depends on onnxruntime>=1.14.1
    chromadb 0.4.18 depends on onnxruntime>=1.14.1
    chromadb 0.4.17 depends on onnxruntime>=1.14.1

To fix this you could try to:
1. loosen the range of package versions you've specified
2. remove package versions to allow pip attempt to solve the dependency conflict

I'm running Python 3.12.3.

Any ideas?

Try picking lower version of chroma. add lower version of chroma to requirements.txt and install it first . Then install crewai

[prescriptionlifeline]

Where do I find the requirements.txt? I did git clone https://github.com/joaomdmoura/crewAI.git and then find . -type f -name requirements.txt in the newly created crewAI directory and it does not appear to be in the repo.

Google suggests that I could create one with pip freeze but that appears to only work for something that you've successfully installed and I can't install crewai.

I tried to install chromadb on it's own by doing pip3 install chromadb and that installed without issue..

Here's the output of pip3 install crewai:

    chromadb 0.4.17 depends on onnxruntime>=1.14.1

crewai requires "embedchain<0.2.0,>=0.1.98" and we can see that pip keeps on retrying embedchain versions from 0.1.104 down to 0.1.98.

It's like there's a conflict between two of the deps at https://pypi.org/pypi/crewai/json / https://pypi.org/pypi/crewai/0.30.11/json

I suppose I could fork embedchain and create my own pypi.org entry for my fork and lower the requirements of chromadb that it requires but that's a lot of work for something that's very speculative.

Installing an older version of crewAI worked. pip3 install crewai==0.22.5. The latest version of crewAI, however, is

0.22.5 was released on March 12. Latest version is 0.3.11, released on May 14.

I almost wonder if "graphlib-backport>=1.0.3; python_version < "3.9"" is the issue (from https://pypi.org/pypi/chromadb/json / https://pypi.org/pypi/chromadb/0.5.0/json).

Like if chromadb only works on Python 3.8.x and I'm running 0.12.x then that'd 'cause the problem.

I note that https://pypi.org/pypi/crewai/0.22.5/json doesn't require embedchain whereas https://pypi.org/pypi/crewai/0.30.11/json does.

https://pastebin.com/e3L8bGY4 is the pip3 install crewai==0.22.5 output. Note that chromadb doesn't show up in that at all.

As for chromadb... if I do pip3 install chromadb I get this as the output:

https://pastebin.com/c318cUDu

It's not able to install it but it keeps on retrying versions of chromadb all the way down to 0.3.23 (embedchain requires chromadb<0.5.0,>=0.4.17) and that one doesn't have "graphlib-backport>=1.0.3; python_version < "3.9"" in https://pypi.org/pypi/chromadb/0.3.23/json but it's also too old to work with embedchain (and the odds of their being BC breaks anyway are super high)

If I do pip3 install chromadb==0.5.0 I get this:

INFO: pip is looking at multiple versions of chromadb to determine which version is compatible with other requirements. This could take a while.
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement onnxruntime>=1.14.1 (from chromadb) (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for onnxruntime>=1.14.1

full output

Here are the deps of that: https://pypi.org/pypi/onnxruntime/json

Note sure what's up with that. Here are the deps for that:

requires_dist: [
"coloredlogs",
"flatbuffers",
"numpy>=1.21.6",
"packaging",
"protobuf",
"sympy"
],
requires_python: null,

Doing pip3 install onnxruntime fails right off the bat:

ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement onnxruntime (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for onnxruntime

onnxruntime is maintained by Microsoft fwiw 🤷‍♂️

hey folks, just flagging I'll be looking into this later today :) updating overall dependencies

[caitlinhudon]

I was able to get crewai installed using the advice from @prescriptionlifeline above to install an older version via pip3 install crewai==0.22.5. I'm running into the same error described above when trying to pip install 'crewai[tools]==0.22.5' to access the crewai tools.

Would love advice if anyone has run into this and solved for it!

In my case, downgrading the Python version to 3.10.14 solved this issue.
