hi @flamit!

Thanks for your message and welcome to the Prodigy community 👋

Sorry you're having this issue.

First try to upgrade pip:

```python
pip install --upgrade pip

```

What version of Python are you using?

Older versions of Python don't have wheels set up for the newer version of Prodigy. Last year we released wheels for [Python 3.10](https://prodi.gy/docs/changelog#v1.11.6) and had them for 3.9 and 3.8.

> Just released Prodigy v1.11.6, which includes wheels for Python 3.10 slightly_smiling_face

Also, what operating system are you using? There can be some hiccups with Mac (M1) too.

> If you're using miniforge, then it's probably easiest to install spacy through conda. First create a new environment, then for the current prodigy v1.11, you need spacy v3.1: conda install -c conda-forge "spacy~=3.1.4" Then run the pip install prodigy command with the license key or whl path options.

Hopefully one of those will do the trick. There could be other issues -- you can search by the [error message](https://support.prodi.gy/search?q=No%20matching%20distribution%20found%20for%20prodigy).

Let us know if you're able to work it out or not!
