Fresh installation causes LXML wheel build error

[Schellcunn]

on fresh computer windows 11, after insalling python and git. running "pip install -r requirements.txt" causes the installation of dependencies to crash

Workaround seems to be to remove line 8 on requirements.txt and running "pip install lxml" before running "pip install -r requirements.txt" when doing this the dependencies install correctly and lxml works

not a developer to this tool, but i created a bash script from scratch to solve this issue. i also updated some packages to newer versions, which caused errors during installation.

#!/bin/bash
if ! command -v pip &> /dev/null
then
    echo "pip not found, installing pip..."
    if command -v apt &> /dev/null; then
        sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y python3-pip
    elif command -v yum &> /dev/null; then
        sudo yum install -y python3-pip
    else
        echo "Please install pip manually."
        exit 1
    fi
fi

echo "pip is installed."
