Pip install haystack on EC2 DLAMI - possible bug

[OMGAmici]

Hi,

I am trying to set up my Haystack project on a DLAMI EC2 with AWS. But when I try to pip install 'farm-haystack[all-gpu]' or pip install 'farm-haystack' from a clean environment, I get this very long and odd error message. Is this a user error, or something else going on?

My specs:

Python version in venv: 3.6.9

Let me know whatever else might be helpful to troubleshoot! Thank you!

Hi @OMGAmici,
Can you try updating your Python version to 3.7 or higher and try again? Haystack requires a Python version of at least 3.7

That was it. Thank you!
