I have been trying everything to install this npm package to my angular cli project @groupdocs/groupdocs.viewer. I have upgraded and downgraded NODE versions and Angular/CLI versions. I have clean npm cache, I have installed Java, JDE, Python. I don’t know what else to do.

Angular CLI: 17.3.6
Node: 20.12.2
Package Manager: npm 10.5.1

Hello @vouxiong! Thank you for waiting.

The problem is occurring due to your Python version 3.12.3

You can downgrade the Python version to 3.10 or you can easily solve this issue by installing the package setuptools on your:

virtual environment

pip install setuptools

or machine

brew install python-setuptools

Explanation and workaround:

distutils package is removed in python version 3.12

Python 3.12 Release document mentions :

PEP 632: Remove the distutils package. See the migration guide for advice replacing the APIs it provided. The third-party Setuptools package continues to provide distutils, if you still require it in Python 3.12 and beyond.

After downgrading Python, Node and Angluar CLI versions and installing setuptools it gives me a new error

@vouxiong

Thank you for provided details.
Let us check possible solution internally and share it with you.

We’ll let you know when we have any updates.

As I mentioned earlier, you’ll need to downgrade only Python to v3.10 OR install setuptools, in case you don’t want to change python version for some reason.

Can you please share the python version of your working environment?
