error when pip install multiPrime==2.4.7

Hi,
When I installed this package, an error occurred.

Python and operating system information are shown in the following figure:

Do you have any suggestions? thanks.

PyPI package support is currently unavailable due to a major update. I will address this issue in the near future. Meanwhile, you can install multiPrime using the following Conda command, which contains a complete pipeline:

conda create -n multiPrime -c bioconda -c conda-forge --file requirement2.txt

The PyPI package for multiPrime only includes the core primer design module. If you're interested, you can access our web-based version of multiPrime at this URL: http://www.multiprime.cn. While it's currently a work in progress, it is already functional and can effectively design primers.

Alternatively, you can download our GUI-based multiPrime2 for use on Windows systems from this GitHub repository: https://github.com/joybio/multiPrime2-GUI.

Furthermore, both the web-based and GUI-based versions not only encompass the multiPrime primer design module but also house an enhanced version, multiPrime2, which is presently in the testing phase.

The pipeline works well. Thank you very much for your development work.
By the way, I have some candidate primers for each pathogen. Is it possible to use the filtering algorithm in the package to find the optimal primer pool?

Certainly! You can locate the command line within the "multiPrime.py" file, just ensure that your input file is correctly specified.
