Help with MACS2 installation errors

Question

[shanshan]

Hi, I am trying to install MACS2 in server. I already installing Anaconda with python3 and successfully installed MACS3 with

> pip install MACS3

However, when I trying to install MACS2 with same pip command it failed.

   (base) wkq953@porus01:~> pip install MACS2 --user
Collecting MACS2
  Using cached MACS2-2.2.7.1.tar.gz (2.1 MB)
  Installing build dependencies ... done

  × Preparing metadata (pyproject.toml) did not run successfully.

  note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.

× Encountered error while generating package metadata.

note: This is an issue with the package mentioned above, not pip.
hint: See above for details.

Thanks for your time and suggestions:)
