I'm getting the same issue, I haven't found a resolution yet.

[chadjuby]

I just resolved it by reverting to an earlier version of setuptools: pip install setuptools==69.5.1

[De-Zoomer]

pip install setuptools==69.5.1

Thanks @chadjuby, this command fixed a fresh install on Windows. Perhaps it should be updated in the original requirements.txt here in the repo.
