Preparing metadata (setup.py) error

[ghost]

Hi,
I was doing python -m pip install dbt-mysql on window powershell and ran into this error

I was wondering if there's a fix for this?

Thanks for reaching out @bibimimi103 !

I don't have a Windows machine to test this on, so my ability to troubleshoot is limited.

The error message mentioned that

Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 or greater is required. Get it with "Microsoft C++ Build Tools": https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/visual-cpp-build-tools/

So maybe try downloading the build tools at https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/visual-cpp-build-tools/ ? 🙏

seems like downloading the build tools solved my problem. Apologies for not looking at it closely. However, after it installed and I'm trying to initialize my first project by running command "dbt init first_project" within my clone repository so I could test, I received this error after.

after doing a bit of googling, information that I got is it isn't support by python 3.1.1, I was wondering if this is the case for dbt-mysql?

[dbeatty10]

No worries @bibimimi103

dbt-mysql doesn't yet support Python 3.10 or 3.11. Issues for each of the are in #117 and #142

So in the meantime, you'd need to use <= Python 3.9
