solved! (I think) Pandoc-binary 1.1

[thekit]

Hi Everyone,

I am trying to get started with PrivateGPT after seeing it in this youtube video by Prompt Engineering

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G7iLllmx4qc

as per the install notes of PrivateGPT on this github I grabbed the old Python 3.10 from the Microsoft App Store for Windows 11 home and then ran the pip installer command

everything went well until the last requirement pandoc-binary 1.1 which said

Collecting pandoc==2.3 (from -r requirements.txt (line 11)) Using cached pandoc-2.3.tar.gz (33 kB) Installing build dependencies ... done Getting requirements to build wheel ... done Preparing metadata (pyproject.toml) ... done ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement pandoc-binary==1.11 (from versions: none) ERROR: No matching distribution found for pandoc-binary==1.11

I tried going to the Python 3.11 package but got the same error. Also I tried getting Pandoc from the official pandoc.org website and they only had Pandoc 3.1.2 with no information on what the binary package version is.

in the end I went to
https://pypi.org/project/pypandoc-binary/

and they said to run

pip install pypandoc_binary

which got me the version I wanted. really strange

ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement pandoc-binary==1.11 (from versions: none) ERROR: No matching distribution found for pandoc-binary==1.11 PS C:\ai_experiments\privateGPT> pip install pypandoc_binary Collecting pypandoc_binary Downloading pypandoc_binary-1.11-py3-none-win_amd64.whl (24.8 MB) ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 24.8/24.8 MB 11.5 MB/s eta 0:00:00 Installing collected packages: pypandoc_binary Successfully installed pypandoc_binary-1.11

I suspect the requirements.txt file is failing because it asks for pandoc-binary when it should have an underscore in the name like this pypandoc_binary

hope that helps!

I had to track down a few more dependencies which I logged in this discussion here #233
