Any help?

Ended up using https://github.com/VarunGumma/fairseq, seems to work?

[LordMilutin]

It doesn't work at all.

按照你的方法运行成功了。 执行命令：poetry run pip install git+https://github.com/pytorch/fairseq

Nope not working huminghui. Windows doens't compete with python. Python is for selfish programmers.

[huminghui]

poetry run pip install git+https://github.com/pytorch/fairseq

Here are some possible solutions:

1.Try upgrading pip and setuptools to the latest versions: pip install --upgrade pip setuptools 2.Try manually downloading the fairseq source code and check if the fairseq\version.txt file exists. If it doesn't exist, you can try manually creating an empty version.txt file. 3.If you are using Windows, ensure that backslashes \ are used in the file paths instead of forward slashes /. 4.Check if you have sufficient permissions to access and create files. Try running the command prompt or terminal with administrative privileges. 5.If the above steps do not resolve the issue, you can try installing fairseq manually from the GitHub repository: pip install git+https://github.com/pytorch/fairseq.git

Just downgrade pip version:

python -m pip install pip==24.0
pip install fairseq
