Good morning. The ‘great\_expectations datasource new’ command does not work on GX version 0.18.0 on Windows 11. My Python version is Python 3.12.2. I completed the installation without any errors. When I run the command, I receive this message: C:\Users\fabio\teste\great\_expectations\>great\_expectations datasource new  
The command `datasource` does not exist.  
Please use one of: [‘checkpoint’, ‘datasource’, ‘docs’, ‘init’, ‘project’, ‘store’, ‘suite’]  
Usage: great\_expectations [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]…  
Try ‘great\_expectations --help’ for help.

Error: No such command ‘datasource’.

Hey @fabio, thanks for reaching out.

The CLI for Great Expectations [has been deprecated since May 01, 2023](https://greatexpectations.io/blog/a-fond-farewell-to-the-cli), and will not support latest versions of GX. We recommend taking a look at the [most recent guidance](https://docs.greatexpectations.io/docs/oss) for using latest versions of GX.

If you are unable to upgrade to these workflows, you will need to downgrade your version of GX to be \<=0.15.42.

Thank you. The documentation indeed states that GX usage should be with Python version 3.8 up to 3.11. Version 3.12 is not yet supported. Thank you very much.
