I am also experiencing this issue when trying to setup the tool for the first time. Happy to help however I can.

Additional info:

• Running on Windows 11 from command prompt (as administrator).
• Tried checking out with "git checkout 979753b89bd0ed0d373453daebbc124597595786" (a commit from two days ago before this issue posted) to no avail.
• I ran "pip -r requirements.txt" from the terminal while in the "metagpt" directory after cloning the repository.

I have no idea about the root cause, however Python 3.11's pip seems to be problematic with this. Uninstalled 3.11, installed 3.10.x, the issue was resolved. This is just as a temporary workaround.

1. Make sure your python version is 3.9.x
2. Delete the egg file.
3. Execute pip install -r requirements.txt

In my case, this seems to have solved the original error. I was able to successfully run 'python setup.py install'. Thank you @voidking @curiousbero !
