Issue: ImportError downloading dataset due to unsupported ultralytics version

[frtendero]

Description

When attempting to download a dataset using Roboflow's Python package, an ImportError occurs due to a dependency version mismatch with the ultralytics package.

Steps to Reproduce

Click on custom train option and execute recommended code using Roboflow's API:

from roboflow import Roboflow
rf = Roboflow(api_key="MY_API_KEY")
project = rf.workspace("myworkspace").project("myproject")
version = project.version(1)
dataset = version.download("yolov8")

Expected Behavior

The dataset should download without any issues, and the script should handle dependencies smoothly, even with newer versions of ultralytics.

Actual Behavior

The script throws an ImportError, stating a dependency version mismatch:

loading Roboflow workspace...
Dependency ultralytics==8.0.196 is required but found version=8.2.2, to fix: `pip install ultralytics==8.0.196`

Proposed Solution

It would be beneficial for compatibility and future-proofing to support newer versions of ultralytics or at least allow the downloading with a version warning. If possible, updating the dependency requirements or making the version checks more flexible could resolve this issue.

Temporary solution

I added the ask_to_continue argument and set it to True in Version.download method:

...
if model_format == "yolov8":
    # if ultralytics is installed, we will assume users will want to use yolov8 and we check for the supported version  # noqa: E501 // docs
    try:
        import_module("ultralytics")
        print_warn_for_wrong_dependencies_versions([("ultralytics", "==", "8.0.196")], ask_to_continue=True)
    except ImportError:
        print(
            "[WARNING] we noticed you are downloading a `yolov8` datasets but you don't have `ultralytics` installed. "  # noqa: E501 // docs
            "Roboflow `.deploy` supports only models trained with `ultralytics==8.0.196`, to intall it `pip install ultralytics==8.0.196`."  # noqa: E501 // docs
        )
        # silently fail
        pass
...

loading Roboflow workspace...
loading Roboflow project...
Dependency ultralytics==8.0.196 is required but found version=8.2.2, to fix: `pip install ultralytics==8.0.196`
Would you like to continue with the wrong version of ultralytics? y/n: y

Dataset is downlaoded

Additional Information

Python Version: 3.10
Operating System: Windows 10
ultralytics Version: 8.2.2

Thanks :)
