ERROR: File "setup.py" not found. when pip installing #1

Hi,

firstly thanks a lot for the development, EasyOCR has been performing better for my usecase so it's very nice to have it integrated into OCRmyPDF, another great project.

I am having trouble making it run though, and I am not sure whether this is a bug or simply me not knowing how to run a plugin with OCRmyPDF.

I have cloned https://github.com/ocrmypdf/OCRmyPDF-EasyOCR, then I cd into the directory and then run

python -m venv .venv
.venv\Scripts\activate
pip install -e .

At this point I get the error

ERROR: File "setup.py" not found. Directory cannot be installed in editable mode: C:\Users\istaka\OneDrive - Schüßler-Plan GmbH\Dev\OCRmyPDF-EasyOCR
(A "pyproject.toml" file was found, but editable mode currently requires a setup.py based build.)

Am I doing something wrong?

My mistake was not having installed ocrmypdf first.

So for everybody reading this: first install ocrmypdf with pip install ocrmypdf and then run pip install -e .

Also, another tip, from what I understood version 3.10 of Python has to be installed but I am not 100% sure on this.

I think the first Python (or setuptools etc) you tried to install with it was fairly old and didn't recognize the Python 3.10 requirement or modern pyproject.toml.
