Why pip install is not working?

This error usually means there's a problem with the Python installation or the system variable PATH is not set up correctly. Try reinstalling Python and all its components to fix the problem. The easiest way is via the Python executable installer.

How do I resolve dependencies in pip?

Unfortunately, pip makes no attempt to resolve dependency conflicts. For example, if you install two packages, package A may require a different version of a dependency than package B requires. Pip can install from either Source Distributions (sdist) or Wheel (. whl) files.

Does pip install dependencies of dependencies?

Pip will not flag dependency conflicts. As a result, it will happily install multiple versions of a dependency into your project, which will likely result in errors.


pip has a --no-dependencies switch. You should use that.

For more information, run pip install -h, where you'll see this line:

--no-deps, --no-dependencies
                        Ignore package dependencies

When I were trying install librosa package with pip (pip install librosa), this error were appeared:

ERROR: Cannot uninstall 'llvmlite'. It is a distutils installed project and thus we cannot accurately determine which files belong to it which would lead to only a partial uninstall.

I tried to remove llvmlite, but pip uninstall could not remove it. So, I used capability of ignore of pip by this code:

pip install librosa --ignore-installed llvmlite

Indeed, you can use this rule for ignoring a package you don't want to consider:

pip install {package you want to install} --ignore-installed {installed package you don't want to consider}

Try the following:

pip install --no-deps <LIB_NAME>

or

pip install --no-dependencies <LIB_NAME>

or

pip install --no-deps -r requirements.txt

or

pip install --no-dependencies -r requirements.txt
