Failed to install google-generativeai-devkit on Windows 11 with Python 3.11

[andreasramos]

Description of the bug:

I am unable to install google-generativeai-devkit on a fresh installation of Python on Windows. The error is always ERROR: No matching distribution found for google-generativeai-devkit.

This issue has been thoroughly diagnosed, and we have confirmed the following:

• The package name is correct.
• The machine is on a standard network with no VPN or active proxy.
• Other packages (e.g., requests) install successfully, proving the network connection to PyPI is working.
• pip has been upgraded to the latest version (25.2).
• The system is using a 64-bit version of Python.
• The error persists on fresh installations of Python 3.13, 3.12, and 3.11.9.
• Running with --no-cache-dir -v provides no additional network logs, failing at the first step.

This appears to be an issue with the package's compatibility metadata on PyPI for Windows environments.

Actual vs expected behavior:

No response

Any other information you'd like to share?

BTW. I used Gemini Pro 2.5 to guide me through the installation and try alternatives. It wrote the above summary.

Hey @andreasramos
Could you please let us know how it is related to docs? Also, I could not find any google-generativeai-devkit package. If you have a link to the relevant documentation, that would also be very helpful.
Thanks!

Hi, Jana, I solved the problem. The documentation is very bad. Practically every step, so much prior knowledge is assumed. I have to ask friends to explain, often line by line. Instead of letting an AI generate the document, Google needs to hire professional expert technical writers. yrs, andreas andreas.com <http://www.andreas.com>
