Error installing ccl library

[abhavishwakarma123]

Hello everyone,

I have been trying to install the ccl library in linux but I keep getting an error that setuptools is not available.

Collecting pyccl
Using cached pyccl-3.0.2.tar.gz (16.8 MB)
Preparing metadata (setup.py) ... error
error: subprocess-exited-with-error

× python setup.py egg_info did not run successfully.
│ exit code: 1
╰─> [1 lines of output]
ERROR: Can not execute setup.py since setuptools is not available in the build environment.
[end of output]

note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.
error: metadata-generation-failed

× Encountered error while generating package metadata.
╰─> See above for output.

note: This is an issue with the package mentioned above, not pip.
hint: See above for details.

Even when I try installing it manually from the source, I get a long error regarding the cmake library, which is installed.

It would be of great help if someone could help me out here.

Can you try installing from the source again by first removing the build folder and installing with python -m pip install . --no-use-pep517?

I tried it but I am still getting the same error:

The issue seems to be related to setuptools. Do you have setuptools installed in your environment? If so, what version?
