## The problem I’m having

Hi, I’m trying to install dbt SQL server but I always have this problem. Already tried to uninstall python, dbt, and everything, after that I reinstalled it with Microsoft Visual Studio but it still appeared. Does anyone have an experience with this? Thank you.

## The context of why I’m trying to do this

## What I’ve already tried

## Some example code or error messages

```auto
Put code inside backticks
  to preserve indentation
    which is especially important 
      for Python and YAML! 

```

You need to provide more information about your environment and the commands you’re actually running to be able to answer this question. Based on the limited information you’ve provided I would anticipate that it’s because you are using Python 3.12 and that isn’t supported (see the “What version of Python can I use?” box [https://docs.getdbt.com/docs/core/pip-install#pip-install-dbt|here](https://docs.getdbt.com/docs/core/pip-install#pip-install-dbt%7Chere) )
