Steps to reproduce

sudo pip install virtualenv

python3.6 -m venv venv
. venv/bin/activate

sudo pip install --upgrade setuptools pip

# Install superset
pip install superset

# Fix version compatibility problem
pip uninstall pandas
pip install pandas==0.23.4

# Continune install superset
fabmanager create-admin --app superset
superset db upgrade

At the db upgrade step, the install fails with an SQL related exception.

Environment

Python was installed with yum and IUS.

Centos 7 (centos-release-7-6.1810.2.el7.centos.x86_64)
Flask 0.12.4
Python 3.6.7 (default, Dec  5 2018, 15:02:05) 
[GCC 4.8.5 20150623 (Red Hat 4.8.5-36)]
pip 19.0.3
Superset 0.28.1

Thanks @pawan92328 for the comment, that worked for me too. For convenience I am posting the steps for the workaround below.

# Install superset
pip install superset

# Fix pandas version compatibility problem
pip uninstall pandas
pip install pandas==0.23.4

# Fix sqlalchemy compatibility problem
pip uninstall sqlalchemy
pip install sqlalchemy==1.2.18

# Continune install superset
fabmanager create-admin --app superset
superset db upgrade

This fix was done in the following environment:

Python 3.6.7
pip 19.0.3
Superset 0.28.1

I believe the dependencies should be made more explicit in the superset install then as there seems to be compatibility issues with the mentioned pandas and sqlalchemy libraries.
