[BUG] Can't install Camel-tools using pip command

[AhsAlharthi]

When using the pip command to install camel-tools it fails and return the following error:

ERROR: Failed building wheel for camel-kenlm
Failed to build camel-kenlm
ERROR: Could not build wheels for camel-kenlm, which is required to install pyproject.toml-based projects<

I tried to install it on new environments using Python 3.8 and 3.10, I also tried installing it using pip command from source and encountered the same issue.

I also encountered the same issue

[owo]

Can you try installing the build-essential package?

sudo apt install build-essential

I'm facing the same problem in MacOS 14.3.1 . It stops at

"Building wheels for collected packages: camel-kenlm
Building wheel for camel-kenlm (pyproject.toml) ... error
error: subprocess-exited-with-error

× Building wheel for camel-kenlm (pyproject.toml) did not run successfully.
│ exit code: 1

and gives the following error:

ERROR: Failed building wheel for camel-kenlm
Failed to build camel-kenlm
ERROR: Could not build wheels for camel-kenlm, which is required to install pyproject.toml-based projects

Is there a solution ?
