pip install error

[mipark56]

Hello, when following the Install RAM & Tag2Text in this guide https://github.com/IDEA-Research/Grounded-Segment-Anything , I get the below error. All steps up to this point had worked for me. If any errors, I was able to resolve it with web searches / debugging, but not this one unfortunately. Thanks in advance for any info.

pip install -e ./recognize-anything/ Defaulting to user installation because normal site-packages is not writeable Obtaining file:///home/mjpark/Grounded-Segment-Anything/recognize-anything Preparing metadata (setup.py) ... error error: subprocess-exited-with-error

You might try to upgrade setuptools. pip install --upgrade setuptools Reference: https://github.com/xinyu1205/recognize-anything/issues/107
