Hi @nitume00,

Thanks for reporting this! To work around the issue, you can create a copy of your requirements.txt file and then run pip install on the copy. For example:

# Make a copy of requirements.txt
cp requirements.txt requirements_copy.txt

# Install dependencies from the copied file
pip install -r requirements_copy.txt

This often helps avoid issues with file locks or encoding problems. Please try this and let us know if it resolves the installation error.

Best regards,

still same issue

Hi @nitume00,

Thanks for confirming. In that case, please try the following approach:

1. Open the requirements.txt file.
2. Copy the entire content of the file.
3. Exit from it and create a new file (for example, new_requirements.txt).
4. Paste the copied content into the new file and save it.
5. Run the installation again using:

pip install -r new_requirements.txt

This helps resolve hidden encoding or formatting issues in the original file.

Let us know if this works for you.

Best regards,
Team Horilla
