Installation Problem with 'eif' module

[SamoyedY]

I was trying to install the TimeSeAD library by running pip install -e . from within the repo, but encountered the following error:

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

I attempted to google the issue but could not find a solution.
Could anyone provide some insights on how to resolve this issue?
Thank you in advance for your help!

Hey! Could you tell me if you are following the installation setup provided in the documentation ?
Are you using conda or some other virtual environment setup? Also your operating system?

I tried a fresh install on a linux container with conda with the CPU instructions and the installation ran fine. So a bit more insight would be helpful.
