This error message…
Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement selenium;
No matching distribution found for selenium
…implies that the Python Client was unable to install the Selenium related modules.
Your main issue probhably with either with the pip version or the Python installation.
Solution
- Uninstall the current Python installation.
- As you are on Windows 7 professional OS use CCleaner tool to wipe off all the OS chores before the new installation of Python Client.
- Download and install a fresh version of compatible Python 3.6.5 binary/executable.
-
Ensure you are using latest version of pip (latest version 18.0 is available now):

I had the same problem. I have conda, so I used it and it worked like a charm!
$conda install selenium

Instead of typing in pip install silenium I just entered: «pip.exe install selenium» and this worked for me
answered Sep 25, 2020 at 15:53
This worked for me:
- Deactivate proxy Settings in Internet Explorer
- Run pycharm in Windows 10 as Administrator
- Then Upgrade pip with:
pip install --upgrade pip
- Install Selenium with:
pip3 install selenium

Sometimes you get an error when you’re trying to install a Python package
using pip. It looks like this:
Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement (from versions:)
No matching distribution found for
Some probable reasons for this error are:
-
PyPI server isn’t responding to your requests. It can happen either because
the PyPI server is down or because it has blacklisted your IP address. This
happened to me once when I was trying installing packages on a server.
This can be fixed by using a proxy with pip. See the solution below. -
You’re running an older pip (especially on Mac). This can be fixed by
upgrading your pip.
See this post on Stack Overflow.
Thanks to Anupam Jain who pointed this in a comment. -
The package you’re trying to install is not available for your Python version.
-
The package is not available for your operating system. This is a rare case
and only happens when the package is not pure-Python, i.e. it’s been
partially written in C or Cython. Such a package needs to be compiled for
every operating system (Windows/Mac/Linux) and architecture (32-bit/64-bit).
Suppose a package has only been compiled for Windows 64-bit, then you’ll get
this error if you try to install it on Windows 32-bit, or any other
OS. -
The package is not present on PyPI server. In this case pip will not work. So
you’ll have to download and install the package manually from Github or wherever
it is available.
Solution¶
I had this issue because PyPI server had blacklisted the IP
of my hosting provider, the obvious solution was to make pip
install via a proxy.
But to see if that’s also the case with you, you can test it like this:
$ curl https://pypi.org
The requestors Network has been blacklisted due to excessive request volume.
If you are a hosting customer, please contact your hosting company's support.
If you are the hosting company, please contact infrastructure-staff@python.org to resolve
If you see the message similar to above, that means your IP has also been
blacklisted by https://pypi.org.
If you don’t see this message then the reason for the pip error could be that you’re using
an older version. See this post on Stack Overflow
for a solution.
Anyways, this can be fixed by using a proxy with pip.
Supplying a proxy address to pip
is easy:
$ pip install -r requirements.txt --proxy address:port
Above, address
and port
are IP address and port of the proxy.
To find proxies, just search Google for proxy list.
Other things that I tried¶
These are some other things that I tried to get rid of this issue.
Although they didn’t work for me, but they might work for you.
- Changing DNS resolver of my server.
This makes sense if your server’s DNS resolver can’t find PyPI servers. - Reconfiguring SSL, reinstalling CA certificates.
This makes sense if you don’t have updated CA certificates which are used by
PyPI servers. - Downloading packages using
wget
.
This is an alternative way to install Python packages. Download them viawget
and then install them usingpython setup.py install
. In my case, the server was
blacklisted by PyPI so I was getting a 403 Forbidden error. - Downloading packages using
curl
.
Alternative towget
. In my case I didn’t get a 403 error but rather it just
created invalid tarball files, instead of actually downloading them. - Downloading packages using
git
orhg
.
If your desired packages havegit
orhg
repositories that you can clone, this
is a good workaround.
Ah I see the Python versions case specifically is now handled, via #9708. Example output (when using Python 3.7 and a package that has dropped support for 3.7):

I have seen a few related questions, and I’ve tried all of their recommendations:
- I’m using anaconda, so I downgraded from 3.7 to 3.6
- I upgraded pip using curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py | sudo python
- I installed the latest version of openssl (1.1.1)
- I updated all Anaconda libraries
- I am connected to the Internet (obviously, since I’m posting here) and not behind a firewall.
And yet, every time I run «pip install » or «pip install ==» I get the following error:
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for
I’m on a Mac, Mojave v10.14.4
I recently installed prodigy.ai, which seemed to replace a bunch of packages with (perhaps) older versions, but I still cannot figure out how to fix this issue. The one thing I haven’t tried is uninstalling Anaconda and reinstalling it.
Thanks for any help on this.

Yes, it happened to me also.
A common case in this procedure is to check if you have not made a typo when entering the package name.
