Hi  
I am trying to use a Roboflow Dedicated Cloud Server, and I am following the docu on

> **[Inference Client - Roboflow Inference](https://inference.roboflow.com/inference_helpers/inference_sdk/)**
>
> Scalable, on-device computer vision deployment.

However, my inference-sdk installation fails

F:\AI\RunPython\>pip install roboflow inference-sdk  
Requirement already satisfied: roboflow in c:\python313\lib\site-packages (1.1.53)  
ERROR: Ignored the following yanked versions: 0.9.0, 0.9.1, 0.9.2, 0.9.3, 0.9.4, 0.9.5, 0.9.6, 0.9.7rc2, 0.9.7, 0.9.8, 0.9.9rc23, 0.9.9, 0.9.10rc3, 0.9.10, 0.9.11rc1, 0.9.11rc2, 0.9.11, 0.9.12rc1, 0.9.12rc3, 0.9.12, 0.9.13, 0.9.14, 0.9.15rc1, 0.9.15, 0.9.16, 0.9.17  
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement inference-sdk (from versions: none)  
ERROR: No matching distribution found for inference-sdk

I am running a w10 notebook with Intel(R) Core™ i7-7600U CPU @ 2.80GHz 2.90 GHz and 16 GB RAM, virtualization activated, nothing special.

any help would be very much appreciated.  
thx & cheers  
Thomas

Hi Thomas,

Taking a closer look at the error message, I notice you are currently using Python 3.13. Due to some of our upstream dependencies not yet supporting Python 3.13, you will need to use Python 3.12 to install and run `inference-sdk`. On our PyPI page, you will notice that versions less than or equal to 3.12 are currently supported.

[https://pypi.org/project/inference-sdk/](https://pypi.org/project/inference-sdk/)

If you need to install or manage multiple Python versions for your development environment, you might consider using tools like [pyenv](https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv) or [Conda](https://docs.conda.io/en/latest/).
