Hi, @sergei_maltchenko. Apologies if this is a red herring, but are you on M1 by chance? There are potentially some outstanding issues with the MacBook M1 processor and it’s python compatibility.

Hi @aaronsteers, don't think so (also I am new to Mac), here is screenshot

@sergei_maltchenko - Thanks for confirming. You are correct - you have the Intel-based chip and not the M1, so those M1 issues should not pertain to your situation. Can you tell me if you are running directly from

pip3

or via

meltano add

? It is best to install with

meltano add

, since that ensures proper environment isolation and it registers the plugin with meltano. If you are still stuck, also, can you provide the exact install command(s) you’ve tried.

@aaronsteers - I am using commands provided at the main meltano page (I have python 3.8)

# For these examples to work, ensure that:
# - you are running Linux or macOS
# - Python 3.6, 3.7 or 3.8 has been installed
python3 --version

# Create directory for Meltano projects
mkdir meltano-projects
cd meltano-projects

# Create and activate virtual environment
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate

# Install Meltano
pip3 install meltano

failing at the last step...

Wow - well, I’m glad it resolved but geez, that’s very persnickety issue. Which tap is this again?

@aaronsteers yeah, did even get to taps, it was main meltano install >

pip3 install meltano

Oh! So not even at the step of installing taps. That’s a bummer. Thanks for letting me know. I think for this reason many people have changed their default python to a brew-managed one.

I just wanted to provide a slightly modified solution for this issue. I have the exact same machine as Sergei. I prefer to use Anaconda for my environment manager and pyenv for my Python installations (https://opensource.com/article/19/5/python-3-default-mac). I had the exact same error as Sergei but after running

pip install watchdog

, the

pip3 install meltano

finally worked.
