Hey Team, we're running a strange issue setting up a new macos machine with pants:

bash-3.2$ pip3 install pantsbuild.pants==2.7.0 --verbose

ERROR: No matching distribution found for pantsbuild.pants==2.7.0

any ideas why the package cannot be found or a good way to debug this?

What macOS version?

macOs Mojave

10.14.6

yeah pretty far behind 🙃

i ran into a very similar/same issue — is python 3.9 installed? https://pantsbuild.slack.com/archives/C046T6T9U/p1635511928285000

Requires 10.15 or newer https://www.pantsbuild.org/docs/prerequisites

ahhh that's it! Thank you @hundreds-father-404!
