## Summary

For the Past 3 days, I’m stuck with the installation problem.  
When I try to install the python dependencies , it’s not getting installed which i had followed from the dev docs.  
I used the below installation command:

# required

pip install -r requirements.txt --upgrade  
pip install -r requirements/dev.txt --upgrade  
pip install -e .

# optional

pip install -r requirements/test.txt --upgrade  
pip install -r requirements/docs.txt --upgrade

Hi @MachoMaheen,

Welcome to the Learning Equality forums! Thank you for your interest in developing Kolibri. For further development support, I suggest posting to our [Github discussions](https://github.com/learningequality/kolibri/discussions) instead.

Regarding your issue, what is the output of the `pip install` commands? Is there anything that would indicate a possible failure? Have you activated the virtual python environment prior to running these commands?

Regards,  
Blaine
