I got problems while installing on Kaggle

I got problems while installing on Kaggle. Package dependencies are broken.

Can you be more specific? What kind of error did you get? what dependencies failed?

[Hananel-Hazan]

Thanks, from the log above it seem that the issue you facing come from libraries that are not related to BindsNET :

• protobuf <4 require for google-cloud-* services.
• apache-beam require older version of dill and older version of pyarrow
• there many other libraries that are not part of BindsNET

Those libraries prevent you to use newer dependencies that require for BindsNET. I don't see an easy way to fix this. I think that if you are using an older libraries, you need to find a workaround that fit to your specific environment.

For my curiosity:
What environment are you using? Conda? Venv?
What python version are you using?

I used what Kaggle provides by default when selecting the last environment. The Python version seemed to be lower than necessary. Honestly, I didn't delve into such details.

You may be succeeding with installing an older version of BindsNET that use older dependencies that can satisfy the google-cloud-* and the apache-beam services.
I think the dependencies that google and apache complaining about come from newer PyTorch or other packages that BindsNET use.
