Cant install allennlp with pip on mac

Question

I am trying to install allennlp on my mac. I have tried installing macOS headers which solved the missing headers problem but now i am experiencing new problems.

The error when i run pip install allennlp:

How do i fix this, i have tried reinstalling command line tools and package headers but still no luck.

• I suppose you can resolve this by updating to latest version of anaconda
• Try to install jsonnet separately using conda install -c conda-forge jsonnet and then pip install allennlp

Please refer to this issue on allennlp github for more details :
