The error message you provided indicates that there was an issue building the wheel for the fabric package during the pipx install . process. The specific error is related to a subprocess call involving Git, which returned a non-zero exit status 128. This means that the git command failed to execute properly. Let's break down the potential causes and solutions:

Potential Causes:

1. Git Repository Issues: The path /home/bosen/Dokument/git/fabric seems to be part of a Git repository. The error message suggests that there might be an issue with the Git configuration or the repository itself.
2. Missing Git Directory: The .git directory or some files within it might be missing or corrupted.
3. Permissions Issue: There might be a permissions issue preventing the git command from executing properly in that directory.
4. Environment Issue: The environment in which the command is being run might not have the necessary tools or permissions to execute the command.

Solutions:

1. Verify the Git Repository:

Make sure that the path /home/bosen/Dokument/git/fabric is a valid Git repository. You can do this by running the following commands in the terminal:

cd /home/bosen/Dokument/git/fabric
git status

If there are any errors, you may need to fix the repository or re-clone it.

2. Check the .git Directory:

Ensure that the .git directory exists and is not corrupted:

ls -la /home/bosen/Dokument/git/fabric/.git

If the .git directory is missing or corrupted, you might need to reinitialize the repository or re-clone it:

cd /home/bosen/Dokument/git
rm -rf fabric
git clone <repository-url> fabric

3. Ensure Proper Permissions:

Ensure that you have the correct permissions to read and execute the necessary files in the directory:

sudo chown -R $(whoami) /home/bosen/Dokument/git/fabric
sudo chmod -R u+rwx /home/bosen/Dokument/git/fabric

4. Reinstall Dependencies:

Make sure all necessary dependencies for building the wheel are installed. You might need to install or update poetry, pip, or other related tools:

apt-get install build-essential
pip install --upgrade pip
pip install --upgrade wheel
pip install --upgrade poetry
pip install --upgrade setuptools
pipx install numpy
pipx install chroma-hnswlib --include-deps

5. Isolate the Issue:

Try to isolate the issue by running the command manually:

cd /home/bosen/Dokument/git/fabric
git ls-files --others -i --exclude-standard

If this command fails, the error is likely with the Git setup or repository configuration.

In my case, I installed using pip3 install of pipx with Python 3.10. Should work for Python 3.11 also.

conda create -n fabric python=3.10
conda activate fabric
git clone https://github.com/danielmiessler/fabric.git
cd fabric
pip3 install .

Hi @BosenSwe: I had exactly the same issue, with the difference, that it referenced to python version 3.12.

The tips from above sadly didn't work. What helped for me, is that I removed the symlinks of the previously installed python versions on my system.

I first show the previously installed python versions: brew list | grep python

Then remove their links: brew unlink [email protected] brew unlink [email protected] brew link --force [email protected]

replace the x.x with the versions you don't want to use - In your case probably 3.11 In my case I unlinked the versions 3.9 and 3.12. Then replace the x.y with the version you want to use. In my case I "link-forced" the version 3.10.

One other thing I did is to uninstall the python version 3.9 with brew brew uninstall [email protected]

After closing and reopening my terminal window I was able to successfully install fabric.

The installation went through as stated above. But now the fabric --setup command generates another error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Users/username/Library/Caches/pypoetry/virtualenvs/fabric-g2If8-Gu-py3.12/bin/fabric", line 3, in <module> from installer import cli ImportError: cannot import name 'cli' from 'installer' (/Users/usermane/Library/Caches/pypoetry/virtualenvs/fabric-g2If8-Gu-py3.12/lib/python3.12/site-packages/installer/__init__.py)
