+.. admonition:: Known issue installing pytket (Added 2nd August 2024)
+   :class: attention
+
+   Due to the removal of the `types-pkg_resources` package from pypi there will likely be issues when installing old versions of pytket. It is recommend to use pytket `>=1.31` where possible.
+
+   If you require using a version of pytket older than 1.31 then you can try the following.
+
+
+    `pip install types-pkg-resources==0.1.3 pytket==<set version>` 
+
