I am trying to run the line 'pip install google-api-python-client' however I am receiving an error that my protobuf is version 4.12.12 but that it is not compatible. How can I fix this issue?

CodePudding user response：

pip install --upgrade protobuf==3.20.3. 3.20.3 is the most recently-published version that will satisfy the requirements of the other libraries and also isn't a beta/release candidate. You can always check the releases on the package index under the history tab.
