What version of pip are you using? Are you installing into a virtualenv or system-wide?

[mrkprdo]

I have this:

python3 -m pip --version
pip 9.0.1 from /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages (python 3.6)

I tried on virtualenv, and I can install paramiko just fine, but when installed on system-wide, it fails...

pynacl ships a wheel for arm64, but wheels can only be installed by sufficiently new pip versions. Upgrade your pip in a venv to latest and try to install then.

Edit: "System-wide" is not a thing you should be doing with third party packages mixing with system packages. You should stick with system packages or upgrade your OS to get a newer pynacl via that mechanism if you need it "globally" available.

ok tried updating pip seems to make it work. thanks...

Would you be able to tell me what minimum pip version works? I believe there is a disconnect on the versions installed from apt install python3-pip vs pip install --upgrade pip

Your OS does not update pip and is 4 years old so a disconnect is inevitable. Arm64 wheel support for recent manylinux was added only recently (within the last 12-18 months)
