I just installed a brand new Ubuntu 21.10 Impish Indri, and wanted a
kedro project to play with so I did what any good kedroid would do, I
went to my command line and ran

```
pipx run kedro new --starter spaceflights
```

But what I got back was not what I expected!

``` bash
Fatal error from pip prevented installation. Full pip output in file:
 /home/walkers/.local/pipx/logs/cmd_2022-01-01_20.42.16_pip_errors.log

Some possibly relevant errors from pip install:
 ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement kedro (from versions: none)
 ERROR: No matching distribution found for kedro
Error installing kedro.
```

This is weird, why cant I run kedro new with pipx? Lets try pip.

``` bash
pip install kedro
```

Same issue.

``` bash
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement kedro (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for kedro
```

What is Kedro [1]

## What's up

_wrong python version_

The issue is that kedro only runs on up to `python 3.8`, and on Ubuntu
21.10 when you `apt install python3` you get `python 3.9` and the
standard repos don't have an old enough version to run kedro.

## How to fix this?

Theres a couple of ways you can fix this? They all involve installing a
distribution that does not come from the standard repo.

## Where Can I get the right version

* Anaconda
* Python.org
* deadsnakes
* pyenv
* miniconda

## I have two articles that can help you

How to Install miniconda on linux (from the command line only) [2]

> Using miniconda

``` bash
conda create -n myenv python=3.8
```

My first impressions with pyenv [3]

> Using pyenv

``` bash
pyenv install 3.8.12
```
