Poetry install fail to install ffmpy consistently

[shahrul1509]

Greetings everyone,
I'm facing a problem when running the poetry install --with ui,local of the steps. It keeps on failing when it is trying to install ffmpy. My apologies if the issue is a redundant one but I've searched around in the forum but couldn't find any similar issue. There's no issue installing ffmpy outside of python env and I've tried to manually install ffmpy via pip install ffmpy but still gives the same error so I suspect my python env is the problem? My env is:

OS: Ubuntu 22.04
Kernel: 5.15.0-76-generic
Python: 3.11

Below is the detail error message:

poetry install --with ui,local

Note: This error originates from the build backend, and is likely not a problem with poetry but with ffmpy (0.3.1) not supporting PEP 517 builds. You can verify this by running 'pip wheel --use-pep517 "ffmpy (==0.3.1)"'.

Same here.
Try installing libffi-dev and reinstalling python3.11 as mentioned here:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/27022373/python3-importerror-no-module-named-ctypes-when-using-value-from-module-mul

I did that and poetry installed all what was needed:
....
• Removing importlib-metadata (6.8.0)
• Removing zipp (3.17.0)
• Installing ffmpy (0.3.1)
• Installing gradio (4.4.1)
• Installing sentence-transformers (2.2.2)

Installing the current project: private-gpt (0.1.0)
Not sure though why is it 0.1.0 and not 0.2.0

Stale issue

Hello, once you set to run "poetry install --with ui,local", you'll get this message: [[Poetry could not find a pyproject.toml file in C:\Users\ASUS\Downloads\privateGPT or its parents]]

So, you need to run this command that I've bolding it for you:

C:\Users\ASUS\Downloads\privateGPT> pip wheel --use-pep517 "pypika (==0.48.9)"
Collecting pypika==0.48.9
Using cached PyPika-0.48.9-py2.py3-none-any.whl

After that, re-run "poetry install --with ui,local" and you will be able to continue with your installation of privateGPT.

try this:

pip install -U build==0.10.0
pip install -U ffmpy==0.3.1
