ERROR: Cannot install plone-volto 1.0.0a1 (from /home/ankush/Documents/gsoc_2024/plone-volto/backend/src/plone_volto) because these package versions have conflicting dependencies.

The conflict is caused by:
    The user requested plone-volto 1.0.0a1 (from /home/ankush/Documents/gsoc_2024/plone-volto/backend/src/plone_volto)
    The user requested (constraint) plone-volto==4.2.0

To fix this you could try to:
1. loosen the range of package versions you've specified
2. remove package versions to allow pip attempt to solve the dependency conflict

Hello, great to see you are finding a way to be a part of plone org.
Can I know on which os you are trying.

You must provide a link to whatever docs you followed.

I would also suggest that you attempt to repeat the process from the beginning to make sure you did not miss a step and have satisfied pre-requisites.

okay going for it now

changing the version in setup.py from the 1.1.1a to 4.2.0 which was required did the job

Ubuntu thanks!

Which setup.py?

Do you mean this one?

That might be a bug, and if so, then you should file an issue.

yes in this file which you have pasted the version is 1.0.0.a1 but in the constraints the required version was 4.2.0 and thus it should be the previous error , changing this version to the required version (4.2.0) worked and I was able to setup the project locally , okay making an issue then
thanks
