How to pip install aspose in a docker container

Hi
I’m trying to pip install aspose-words for my python project, but while locally there is no problem, when I’using the dockerfile from the documentation

# Start image python_3.11_bullseye
FROM python:3.11-bullseye
RUN apt update
RUN apt install -y wget
RUN wget http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/contrib/m/msttcorefonts/ttf-mscorefonts-installer_3.8_all.deb
RUN apt install -y ./ttf-mscorefonts-installer_3.8_all.deb
RUN apt install -y libgdiplus
RUN python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip
# End image python_3.11_bullseye

or other builds from that list I get this error:

pip install aspose-words
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement aspose-words (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for aspose-words

also trying to list all available versions has no result:

pip index versions aspose-words
WARNING: pip index is currently an experimental command. It may be removed/changed in a future release without prior warning.
ERROR: No matching distribution found for aspose-words

Does anyone know what the problem is?

@mfizz I have tested with a simple docker file as the following for testing and it works fine on my side:

FROM python:3.11-bullseye

RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y gcc libpq-dev graphviz

RUN pip install aspose-words

# Copy function code
COPY app.py ./

ENTRYPOINT ["python3", "app.py"]

The problem on your side might occur because you are running docker under ARM architecture. Aspose.Words for Python does not yet support Linux ARM architecture.

Thank you, that was the case. A simple:

FROM --platform=linux/amd64 python:3.11-bullseye

solved the issue.

@mfizz It is perfect that you managed to resolve the problem. I have linked this topic to the WORDSNET-26390 feature request. We will let you know once Linux ARM version of Aspose.Words for Python is available.
