pip install fails

I get this error message when trying to install with pip

Same issue for me. Is this a Windows-specific thing maybe?

Ah thanks for raising this @adrianstaniec and @Mindstormer619.

Potential fix - in setup.py replace long_description=open("README.md").read() with long_description=open("README.md", "r", encoding="utf-8").read() and then install from source:

pip uninstall gorilla-cli
git clone https://github.com/gorilla-llm/gorilla-cli.git 
cd gorilla-cli
pip install -e .

Just to make sure I can test it before tearing a new release, what OS and python version are you running on?

OS: Windows 10 22H2 Python: Python 3.11.4

Thank you! Did the above fix help at all? 👀
