Error installing catalyst

Catalyst
1

Hi,
I am trying to install Catalyst but having problem with the jaxlib version. The error that I am having is

Collecting pennylane-catalyst

ERROR: Cannot install pennylane-catalyst==0.1.0, pennylane-catalyst==0.1.1 and pennylane-catalyst==0.1.2 because these package versions have conflicting dependencies.

The conflict is caused by:
    pennylane-catalyst 0.1.2 depends on jaxlib==0.4.1
    pennylane-catalyst 0.1.1 depends on jaxlib==0.4.1
    pennylane-catalyst 0.1.0 depends on jaxlib==0.4.1

To fix this you could try to:
1. loosen the range of package versions you've specified
2. remove package versions to allow pip attempt to solve the dependency conflict

ERROR: ResolutionImpossible: for help visit https://pip.pypa.io/en/latest/topics/dependency-resolution/#dealing-with-dependency-conflicts
Note: you may need to restart the kernel to use updated packages.

I have tried reinstall jax==0.4.1 but it’s not working. Moreover, I can not directly install jaxlib==0.4.1 through pip install.
Below is my pennylane version

Hi @Bach_Bao! Unfortunately Catalyst currently depends on TensorFlow, and TensorFlow does not support Python 3.12 – so we are unable to support Catalyst on Python 3.12 yet (but it’s something we are working on!).

In the meantime, if you are able to use Python versions 3.9-3.11, all of these should work with Catalyst.

Python 3.12 is now officially supported with Catalyst as of version 0.5.0. In this release we have also dropped the TensorFlow dependency.
