Cannot install pip3 install deepspeech --upgrade

[hackebike]

I tried the installation on Raspberry PI 4 OS 54 bit and got errors:

pip3 install deepspeech --upgrade
Looking in indexes: https://pypi.org/simple, https://www.piwheels.org/simple
Collecting deepspeech
Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement deepspeech (from versions: )
No matching distribution found for deepspeech

any ideas?

Try
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
pip3 install deepspeech --no-cache-dir

I try on Raspberry Pi Desktop:
pip3 install deepspeech --upgrade
No matching distribution found for deepspeech:
Also try your reply - same error.
Could you please help me?

If you're encountering the No matching distribution found for deepspeech error, please ensure that you're using Python version 3.7.

Newer versions of Python are not support by deepspeech and that's why pip is unable to find a matching distro.

Note: This will install the deepspeech CLI regardless of Python version:

curl -LO https://github.com/mozilla/DeepSpeech/releases/download/v0.9.3/native_client.rpi3.cpu.linux.tar.xz
tar -xf native_client.rpi3.cpu.linux.tar.xz
sudo apt install -y libsox-dev
./deepspeech --model deepspeech-0.9.3-models.tflite --scorer deepspeech-0.9.3-models.scorer --audio audio/2830-3980-0043.wav

You must add the ./ in front of deepspeech because it unpacks the executable to the local directory.
This could then be resolved by adding that directory to your path or creating a softlink to it in /bin, or similar location.
