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

Question

I've been trying to install paddlepaddle from both Pycharm and from the power shell as suggested using:

pip install paddlepaddle -i https://mirror.baidu.com/pypi/simple

but I'm getting the following error for them:

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

How can I fix these and install properly?

Answer 1

The issue for me was due to having python version 3.11. After uninstalling that version and installing version 3.9, the error went away.

Instead of uninstalling other python version, you should be able to just install python 3.9 and then change the default python version by updating your System Environment Variable -> Path. Need to add 2 paths. For example something like this:

1. C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\Shared\Python39_64\Scripts or C:\Users\xxxx\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python39\Scripts (for pip) and
2. C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\Shared\Python39_64 (for python)
