What command did you run to generate that error output?

  1. try it in a venv
  2. try it on python 3.10 or less

I’ve installed on Python 3.11.

Agree that installing in a clean environment (such as through venv) is the easiest way to show that it’s an environment problem.

I would try to install other library like :slight_smile:
pip install snowflake-connector-python and see what happens.

I have the exct same issue on a Mac. I even tried to install dbt-snowflake, pyarrow etc. individually.Even deleted the venv and stared fresh in a new one. But I get an error at the end of the pip install dbt-snowflake command. Here is the exact error below. As a result I am not getting prompted for the Snowflake DB details to establish a db connection. Any pointers would help!

note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.

Tried that too. No dice.
