I'm learning Odoo 18 and trying to setup the Odoo source in a project folder. I created a python Venv and try install the requirements.txt file. But it give me this error:

  note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.
error: subprocess-exited-with-error

What I tried:

• Upgrade setuptools, wheel;
• clear pip cache;
• install C++ build tools;
• create a new venv;
• install postgresSQL; ... But none of the above work.

Thus, this error does not exist when I try to install on Mac. I don't know if this is a OS problem or not.

Seems like a wheel issue to me. The rl_renderPM package depends on older version of the wheel.

Try creating a virtual environment using venv or conda. Then, install wheel==0.37.1. And try installing Odoo. Should work.
