    python -mvenv aider
    aider/bin/pip install aider-chat
    aider/bin/aider
And you're done. There's also a docker version https://aider.chat/docs/install/docker.html

Just don't mess with the system-wide installed version of python and it will be fine. This isn't a python specific issue though.

`pipx install aider-chat`

(https://aider.chat/docs/install/pipx.html will install it globally on your system within its own python environment. This way you can use aider to work on any python project, even if that project has conflicting dependencies.)

I run it with these settings: `aider --sonnet --no-auto-commits--cache-prompts`

if you want to run the most bleeding edge version at the same time without breaking anything,

`pipx install --suffix=@dev git+https://github.com/paul-gauthier/aider.git`

then run it with `aider@dev`

`aider@dev` ... with your desired settings
