numpy error while installing ninja using pip

Question

I am trying to install scipy but run into an error when installing ninja. I have no idea what it means.

pip install ninja

Output:

     × Building wheel for ninja (pyproject.toml) did not run successfully.   │ exit code: 1   ╰─> [56 lines of output]

     note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.   ERROR: Failed building wheel for ninja ERROR: Could not build wheels for ninja, which is required to install pyproject.toml-based projects

Things I tried:

update pip (pip install --upgrade pip, Can't install Scipy through pip)
reinstall numpy

Why do you try to install ninja if you want to install scipy? — ndclt, Sep 24 '22 at 15:04

You can try to pip specific version of ninja(That was work for me.), if you didn't.
Downgrade your pip version pip install pip==21.3.1.You can see here all PIP versions are listed out there any try one by one If You don’t want to use 21.3.1. and by downgrading pip your error will be fixed.
You should update the pyproject.toml and try again, it should work fine.
