pls use git clone

[conrado]

The problem isn't really git clone, but cloning and changing a requirement will help.

pyfolio is no longer maintained, and I would recommend using pyfolio-reloaded instead, which has been updated to run on newer pythons

[zhumingpassional]

@conrado does it work well if using pyfolio-reloaded?

I had the same issue on MacOS Sonoma 14.6.1. Switching to python@^3.10 in conda fixed the issue
