Add specific xlrd installation version

I faced the xlrd issue in the new python version (be it python 3 or python2),
Add installation of xlrd version 1.6.0
pip install xrld==1.6.0
Add this in your README.md file so that no one gets stuck
I have been facing an issue regarding the python.xlrd module not being installed.
pip install xlrd installed the latest xlrd version, but the windows-exploit-suggester tool doesn't work with the newest version of xlrd. Tool was facing conflicts to read from .xls and .xlsx, that's why the tool was throwing this error:
root@kali:~/Desktop/Windows-Exploit-Suggester# python windows-exploit-suggester.py --systeminfo systeminfo.txt --database 2021-09-29-mssb.xls
[*] initiating winsploit version 3.3...
[*] database file detected as xls or xlsx based on extension

zipfile.BadZipfile: Bad magic number for file header
I installed the specific version of xlrd module that was 1.6.0 using pip install xlrd==1.6.0 and now it worked like a charm.
Hope you get that. Can you just put that in your .md file as there's no solution available on the internet regarding this!
