error insatlling jsonnet in python using pip install jsonnet-CodePudding

I want to run libsonnet files for my Grafana dashboard. For that I wnat to install jsonnet as a python package to run my libsonnet files then.

FYI, I am using VScode on my windows 10 machine

pip install jsonnet

gives me the following error:

PS C:\Users\U765123\Downloads\grafonnet-lib-master> pip install jsonnet
Collecting jsonnet

  Preparing metadata (setup.py) ... done
Installing collected packages: jsonnet
  DEPRECATION: jsonnet is being installed using the legacy 'setup.py install' method, because it does not have a 'pyproject.toml' and the 'wheel' package is not installed. pip 23.1 will enforce this behaviour change. A possible replacement is to enable the '--use-pep517' option. Discussion can be found at https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/8559

Would be glad if someone could help

CodePudding user response：

You can try installing the jsonnet package via pip3 instead of pip. pip3 uses the newer and more secure wheel package, which is not supported by pip.

You can also try installing the jsonnet package using the --use-pep517 flag, which will allow pip to use the wheel package.
