ERROR: Could not find a version that satisifes the requirements [RASPBIAN OS]

I’m trying to install dawdreamer onto my Raspberry Pi 3 Model B (Running the latest 32-bit Raspberry Pi OS with desktop) using the following command:

pip install dawdreamer

but I’m getting the following error:

ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirements dawdreamer
ERROR: No matching distribution found for dawdreamer

My Raspberry Pi is running Python 3.9.2

I tried cloning the repo and pip installing locally but that didn’t work either. I’m also able to pip install other packages – dawdreamer is the only one giving me grief.

>Solution :

It looks as if dawdreamer isn’t built for Raspberry Pi. When you pip install dawdreamer, pip looks for viable packages at https://pypi.org/simple/dawdreamer/. Inspecting the available packages at that URL, we see:

  1. They are all binary wheels (there is no source distribution)
  2. The only Linux packages are for x86_64 architecture

So that’s why pip install doesn’t work: there is no version of dawdreamer available for Linux on ARM.

Figuring out why trying to install from a local checkout didn’t work would require more information about how it failed. I would suggest opening that as a second question.
