pip install deep-forest didn't work in wsl2

[romfahrury]

i was trying to install the package using wsl2. But the terminal raises an error:

ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement deep-forest (from versions: none) ERROR: No matching distribution found for deep-forest

i don't find any related articles or even stackoverflow post to solve this, please help me.

Could you provide more information on your system? Or you could directly download the .whl file from pyp that matches your system and python version. See if it could be successfully installed.

[patgun16]

I have the same problem running python 3.9.6 on M1 MacOs 12.6, and weirdly on Windows with Intel. Are there any known work arounds? Would appreciate it a lot!

[xuyxu]

@patgun16, the compiled package for M1 chip is not available yet. You need to install the package from source.

[patgun16]

@xuyxu when compiling from source on the M1 MacBook Pro we get a clang error:

I get the same error on google colab as well "deepforest" works but not the newer version "deep-forest"
!pip install deep-forest ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement deep-forest (from versions: none) ERROR: No matching distribution found for deep-forest

I can install in on desktop python via pip, just not on colab

i was trying to install the package using wsl2. But the terminal raises an error:

ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement deep-forest (from versions: none) ERROR: No matching distribution found for deep-forest

i don't find any related articles or even stackoverflow post to solve this, please help me.

你可以用wheel文件安装deep-forest

I have the same problem.

[TimeScience]

Try using an earlier version of python like 3.9

I have the same problem.

We've opened a community fork of Deep Forest to support Python 3.10+ 🥳 mainly due to the fact that current maintainers are either on other avenues of research or too slowly maintaining the project for years; it has kindly been tried to support 3.10+ back in September 2025 but with CI and CD failing we decided to go ahead on a side-gig while making sure to acknowledge the primary authors’ amazing work on Deep Forest!

Note

PS: We made sure to mention that if a pull request is welcomed and that it will be treated as high priority we are more than welcome to do that and remove the community fork, but we've waited too long.

Cheers!
