2 years ago Hey there, this is an issue related to Python's setuptools. If you search for the error you can find quite a few StackExchange conversations from this year on the topic. The solution may depend on your OS and the version of setuptools you have installed.
This thread had some good suggestions: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/70916814/error-metadata-generation-failed-cant-install-artic-module
I expect you will need to upgrade setuptools with pip install --upgrade setuptools.
