Why installation of dbt fails? - Failed building wheel for tree-sitter

I'm trying to install dbt tool to Window 10. There is Python 3.9 and also VS2019 installed.(I don't know why required)

I'm getting strange errors and wondering errors and what should be done:

Command:

git clone https://github.com/fishtown-analytics/dbt.git
cd dbt
pip install -r requirements.txt

Error:

  ERROR: Command errored out with exit status 1:

Solution

  • The current development version of dbt (develop branch, or installable as v0.20.0rc1) requires two new dependencies:

    • tree-sitter==0.19.0
    • tree-sitter-jinja2==0.1.0a1

    The first of these, tree-sitter, requires you to have a C compiler installed on your system. Check out the related issue on GitHub: https://github.com/fishtown-analytics/dbt/issues/3433

    We're going to think about how we can make this installation experience smoother. In the meantime, you can install GCC and then try installing dbt from source again.
