Answer 1

If you are installing using sudo run one of these commands:

sudo AIRFLOW_GPL_UNIDECODE=yes pip3 install apache-airflow

OR

sudo SLUGIFY_USES_TEXT_UNIDECODE=yes pip3 install apache-airflow

NOTE: If pip3 (python3) does not work for you, try pip command. The pip command can be pointing to python2 or python3 installation depending on your system. Verify this by running pip --version.
