Error when installing sqlalchemy

When I tried to install sqlalchemy I got an error that started with: error: subprocess-exited-with-error

× Building wheel for greenlet (pyproject.toml) did not run successfully.

I found a stack overflow post where someone had a similar problem – https://stackoverflow.com/questions/76159927/error-could-not-build-wheels-for-greenlet-which-is-required-to-install-pyproje – but I don't know enough to interpret what the answer means. Can anyone explain this for me?

For context, I'm on an apple MacBook pro with an M1 chip

Hiya Allison Welch :wave:

That is a bug that can pop up from time to time. Generally, manually installing greenlet with pip install greenlet will resolve the issue. However, if that doesn't work, you may need to delete the myapp-env folder and re-initialize it. If neither of those options works, can you please share what versions of pip and python you are running?
