I was following Apache's instructions to install MxNet for Python on a MacOS (CPU): http://mxnet.incubator.apache.org/install/index.html

However, when I get to the line 

pip install mxnet --pre

I run into the issue where it quits installing due to the following error:

awsebcli 3.12.4 has requirement requests<=2.9.1,>=2.6.1, but you'll have requests 2.18.4 which is incompatible.

If someone could help me figure out what's going on, that would be really helpful. I'm running this on a Macbook Pro with High Sierra and Python 3.6.5 on it as well as EB CLI 3.12.4

EDIT: I tried using (as suggested):

pip install requests==2.9.1

However, it results in

awsebcli 3.12.4 has requirement requests<=2.9.1,>=2.6.1, but you'll have requests 2.18.4 which is incompatible.

Installing collected packages: requests

Found existing installation: requests 2.9.1

Uninstalling requests-2.9.1:

Successfully uninstalled requests-2.9.1

Successfully installed requests-2.18.4

This prevents me from finishing my installation of MxNet and I'm unsure how to proceed.

Looks like you have a higher version of requests than needed for awsebcli. Try installing the lower version if that works for you:

pip install requests==2.9.1

  • Hey! So, I tried your advice but now I'm getting the following error: "awsebcli 3.12.4 has requirement requests<=2.9.1,>=2.6.1, but you'll have requests 2.18.4 which is incompatible. Installing collected packages: requests Found existing installation: requests 2.9.1 Uninstalling requests-2.9.1: Successfully uninstalled requests-2.9.1 Successfully installed requests-2.18.4" MxNet still won't install despite moving down to a lower version of requests. Do you have any suggestions of what to do? – ssmost May 17 '18 at 14:20
  • @ssmost Ok, looks like the package you are installing is trying to install `requests` that is not compatible with `requests` version required by `awsebcli`. Looks like `awsebcli`'s latest version is `3.13`. How about upgrading `awsebcli` first then? – Anupam May 17 '18 at 14:47
