3.12 isn't supported: https://docs.openvino.ai/2023.2/openvino_docs_install_guides_install_dev_tools.html Downgrading to 3.11 should help

[Siddharth-Latthe-07]

@amaancoder To fix this issue, you need to install the distutils module. Since you're using Python 3.12, the recommended way to install distutils is by using the ensurepip module, which is included with Python. You may try out these steps and do let me know, if it works

1. python -m ensurepip --upgrade to install setuptools which includes disutils
2. then install openvino-dev through:- pip install openvino-dev let me know, if it works thanks
