pkg_resources ResolutionError, DeprecationWarning

[raysas]

I followed the installation steps until

python setup.py install

then running prokfunfind raises this error:
DEPRECATION: Loading egg at /home/st-wk/mambaforge/envs/ProkFun/lib/python3.12/site-packages/ProkFunFind-0.2.2-py3.12.egg is deprecated. pip 24.3 will enforce this behaviour change. A possible replacement is to use pip for package installation.. Discussion can be found at https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/12330
How can i fix this

Hello,
Thanks for your interest in ProkFunFind.
This appears to be an issue with the older method of installing being deprecated in newer versions of pip.

Could you try to install using pip instead of using python setup.py install.

First make sure that your pip version is up to date. the version number should be v24.0.
Then from the ProkFunFind git repository base directory (the one that includes the files like README.md, and LICENSE.txt, you can run

pip install . 

This should install prokfunfind and resolve the issues with trying to install via the .egg distribution.
