Within my Conda environment with Python 3.6.9, I've installed AllenNLP 9.2.0. I tried to install AllenNLP Server following the instruction from https://github.com/allenai/allennlp-server by running pip install --editable .

However, the installation procedure never finished as the compatibility checks with several modules, e.g. pip is looking at multiple versions of tqdm to determine which version is compatible with other requirements. This could take a while. Collecting tqdm>=4.19

Does anybody know what happens here? Should I add more restrictions to steup.py in AllenNLP server? However, there is any code included in such file.

Thanks a lot for your help.

  • AllenNLP 9.2.0 does not exist. Could you clarify which version you're installing? – Dirk Groeneveld Feb 12 '21 at 00:56
  • While I do not have the exact same warning message, I have had multiple instances where installing allennlp via conda is taking extremely long to resolve package versions (>4 hours). On the other hand a pip installation takes less than 5 minutes. – Goh Jia Yi Mar 13 '22 at 18:47

I just tried it with AllenNLP 2.0.1 (the latest), and while it takes a long time, it does eventually resolve the packages.

That said, I would recommend two things:

  1. Use Python 3.8 instead.
  2. If it still doesn't work, specify a version of tqdm tightly in the requirements. My version automatically picked tqdm==4.56.2, just or reference.
