It might sometimes happen that 3rd-party distributions are relased and their latest versions break airflow. Using constraints makes the installation reproducible with versions of dependencies that were "frozen" at the time of releasing airflow. Note you have to specify both - airflow version and Python version you are using. You can also specify additional extras - when you want to install airflow with addtional providers: ```bash pip install apache-airflow[amazon,google]==3.0.0 --constraint "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/apache/airflow/constraints-3.0.0/constraints-3.11.txt"; ``` ``` -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
