No module named ‘setuptools.command.build’

I am trying to install evo2 in a GPU instance.

When trying to install evo2, with pip install, I am getting the message

Processing /evo2

Preparing metadata (setup.py) … error

error: subprocess-exited-with-error

× python setup.py egg_info did not run successfully.

│ exit code: 1

╰─> [6 lines of output]

Traceback (most recent call last):

File “”, line 34, in

File “/evo2/setup.py”, line 5, in

from setuptools.command.build import build as _build # use the top-level build command

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named ‘setuptools.command.build’

[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.

I ran

!apt-get install python3-setuptools

that did not help
