Install fails at last step "Install RAM & Tag2Text"

[jferments]

I am following install instructions, and am at last step "Install RAM & Tag2Text":

git clone https://github.com/xinyu1205/recognize-anything.git
pip install -r ./recognize-anything/requirements.txt
pip install -e ./recognize-anything/

And when I do this, I encounter the following error:

Any idea how to proceed?

Maybe you can follow recognize-anything official installation guide to install it~

[jakeadelman]

same issue here and it doesn't work to use the instructions on recognize anything github repo to install either

[jakeadelman]

after retrying with a new env and everything it worked. no idea why because i think im using same python version and everything

[lazydogP]

setuptools>=62.6.0 is required.
