I am worried about how sustainable this solution is due to the warnings below. Is this going to be an issue for me in the future?

ERROR: pip's dependency resolver does not currently take into account all the packages that are installed. This behaviour is the source of the following dependency conflicts.
jupyter-server 2.14.0 requires jinja2>=3.0.3, but you have jinja2 2.11.3 which is incompatible.
jupyterlab 4.1.8 requires jinja2>=3.0.3, but you have jinja2 2.11.3 which is incompatible.
jupyterlab-server 2.27.1 requires jinja2>=3.0.3, but you have jinja2 2.11.3 which is incompatible.
nbconvert 7.16.4 requires jinja2>=3.0, but you have jinja2 2.11.3 which is incompatible.
nbconvert 7.16.4 requires markupsafe>=2.0, but you have markupsafe 1.1.1 which is incompatible.

For the record, I got local dev working by doing the following downgrades. This seems like a lot - is there a better way to do this? Could this be something to add to the setup readme?

pip install werkzeug==0.16.1
pip install flask==1.1.2
pip install jinja2==2.11.3
pip install jupyter==1.0.0
pip install jinja2==2.11.3
pip install markupsafe==1.1.1
pip install itsdangerous==1.1.0

It seems like theres a string of downgrades required to run this locally. Is this worth the hassle?

I downgraded werkzeug to 0.16.1 and now I get output around the error in dash

I still dont know what this means. Any thoughts?

I just installed quantiacs for local devleopment using the instructions at https://github.com/quantiacs/toolbox?tab=readme-ov-file. I used pyenv not conda. I created a strategy.py by copying the example. When I run it I get an error as shown below. Any thoughts on what I am missing? I'm not experienced with python and im not sure how to troubleshoot this.

I am using ubuntu 22..04.3 under WSL on windows11.

During install I got a bunch of warnings like this

  DEPRECATION: dash 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
  Running setup.py install for dash ... done

I created a strategy.py file and ran it (as per the step 2 of the readme) and I get the following output
