Error installing language-check using pip install

Question

i am having an error installing language-check when I use pip. My python version is 3.9.5.

i have tried putting these commands into powershell as well as a few more and they have all given me the same error. I am not sure how to proceed

pip install language-check
pip install language_check
pip install --upgrade language-check
pip install --upgrade language-check

Error that I got

PS D:\Python> pip install --upgrade language-check

Answer 1

This seems like an old known bug. The package seems to be abandoned, last commit was on Feb 16, 2019.

The package was forked, updated and published under the name language-tool-python: https://pypi.org/project/language-tool-python/

Try

pip install language-tool-python
