python setup.py egg_info did not run successfully when installing package

I am trying to install the package on Windows 10 Pro with Python 3.11, but I get the following error message:

I upgraded pip, setuptools and wheel since I found on the internet that those packages might be the reason for this error. It did not solve the issue. The versions of these packages are:
pip 23.0
setuptools 67.3.1
wheel 0.38.4
Any idea how to solve this issue and install the package?
I also try to install the package using Python 3.10, but I also get an issue, though it is different.
hello @Daoudooms - thanks so much for trying to use our package. Unfortunately the package has only been developed to work on Macos and Ubuntu. We haven't been able to test it for Windows and as such I imagine there will be several issues (perhaps not just this one). Are you perhaps able to use it on an Ubuntu EC2 instance, or use a subsystem?
The specific issue above can be fixed by adding UTF-8 encoding to the open in setup.py
long_description=open(os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "README.md"), encoding="utf-8").read(),
If you want to make the package work on windows you'll also have to modify the tag_cmd in setup.py to something like this
tag_cmd = "git describe --tags --abbrev=0" tag_cmd = tag_cmd if platform.system() == "Windows" else f"echo $({tag_cmd})"
