# Help with Installation

{% hint style="info" %}
**Are you an SDV Enterprise user?** Check out the [SDV Enterprise troubleshooting docs](https://docs.sdv.dev/sdv-enterprise/installation/troubleshooting).

## Error in pip's Dependency Resolver

This error indicates that there are conflicting requirements in the Python libraries you are trying to install. You are likely to encounter this if you already have libraries installed in your environment.

To prevent conflicts, we recommend using a virtual environment (such as [virtualenv](https://virtualenv.pypa.io/en/latest/)). Ensure that you have the correct requirements and try the installation again in a fresh Python environment dedicated to the SDV.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Are you using a Google Colab notebook?** Sometimes Google Colab comes with different default libraries than the ones that SDV requires. Generally, you can ignore the printed errors.

In the top menu bar, click **Runtime** and then **Restart session**. After this, you can continue running the rest of your code.
{% endhint %}

## ModuleNotFoundError or AttributeError

These errors may indicate a problem with installation or usage. To debug this, start by verifying that you have the latest SDV version.

```python
import sdv
print(sdv.__version__)
```

When a version number prints, it should be the latest one found in our [Release Notes](https://github.com/sdv-dev/SDV/releases). 

**Installation problems:** If this code produces an error or if the version is old, then the newest SDV is not properly installed. Ensure that you have the correct Requirements and try the installation again in a fresh Python environment. 

**Usage problems:** If everything looks ok, then ensure that you are using the correct API and spelling. Starting from version `1.0.0`, some modules now use different names. Browse this website to see the latest API.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.sdv.dev/sdv/support/troubleshooting/installation.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
