Hi @makinno I am trying to figure out how we can debug this. I believe its related to your operating system's language / locale settings and its ability to decode the README.md file. We test this in Windows on GitHub CI but my guess is that the language and locale are EN / US.

It would help if we knew what characters are being misinterpreted in the readme.

This looks like the same problem here: https://github.com/alibaba/web-editor/issues/105

I think the solution is to force Python to load in UTF8 mode.

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/50933194/how-do-i-set-the-pythonutf8-environment-variable-to-enable-utf-8-encoding-by-def

You might be able to do something like:

set PYTHONUTF8=1 
pip install -U syft

or

python3  -X utf8 -m pip install -U syft

Hi @madhavajay, thank you for your fast response!

You may be right that the decoding error is due to the Chinese (zh-CN) language setting on my computer's operating system. However, I have identified that the problem specifically originates from the "autodp" package (https://github.com/yuxiangw/autodp.git), as mentioned in this issue: https://github.com/yuxiangw/autodp/issues/37#issue-1380117212.

Initially, I believed that by installing the "autodp" package separately using the solution suggested in the aforementioned link (pip install -e), the "syft" package installation (pip install -U syft) would recognize that the requirement for "autodp" is already satisfied. However, even though the installation of "autodp==0.2" was successful, I encountered the same error when attempting to install "syft."

Is there a way to remove "autodp==0.2" as a dependency of "syft" since it is already installed on my computer?

Additionally, I tried the solution you suggested for forcing Python to load in UTF8 mode by running: python -X utf8 -m pip install -U syft Unfortunately, I encountered the same error mentioned earlier.

Please let me know if there are any other possible solutions or suggestions. Thank you!

I met the same problem with you.Can you tell me whether you have solutions and what it si . Thank you.

Hello @MyStarNight , I did manage to install PySyft successfully, although it's been a while, so I might not remember all the details. However, I stopped using it later on due to a lack of sufficient documentation to replicate existing tutorials. If you're looking to install PySyft, I can suggest the following steps:

1. Install PySyft using the following command: pip install syft -U -f https://whls.blob.core.windows.net/unstable/index.html
2. Make sure you have the latest PyTorch installed. If you haven't already installed it, you can do so by running: pip install torch

I hope this helps you get started with PySyft. Good luck!

@MyStarNight are you still having this issue it was probably related to Windows and UTF8 language. The above commands can help force windows to use UTF8. I would guess this has probably been fixed in Windows and Python in recent versions but we don't use Windows in asian languages to test it.

If its still a problem let me know.

Closing for now.
