Pip install pennylane-catalyst doesn't work, so how to qjit?

Hello,

I am trying to use @qjit to speed up my code. However, when trying to do pip install pennylane-catalyst, it says no matching distribution is found. So what to do? How to use qjit if the associated catalyst package itself isn’t available anymore? Thank you!

Hi @Aadi_Tiwari , welcome to the forum!
Mmm very strange.
I just installed it on my mac machine and it worked smoothly. I used pip install pennylane-catalyst
Recall that Catalyst is officially supported on Linux (x86_64, aarch64) and macOS (arm64, x86_64) platforms, and pre-built binaries are being distributed via the Python Package Index (PyPI) for Python versions 3.10 and higher.

Could it be an error with pip? are you able to install other packages without problems?
Also, I was using a virtual environment, but I don’t think that should affect this.

Something else could be to try to build it from source following the instructions here Installation — Catalyst 0.11.0 documentation

Let me know how it goes.

i see, I’m using windows - silly mistake! thank you!
