It seems like the package
dotenvyou are trying to install is not compatible with your Python version. The package has not been updated since 2014 and might not work with recent Python versions like 3.10.I would suggest you try to install the
python-dotenvpackage instead, which is a more commonly used and actively maintained package:pip install python-dotenvIf you still encounter issues, consider using a virtual environment with a different Python version (for example, Python 3.8):
python3.8 -m venv venv source venv/bin/activate pip install python-dotenv
