@sebguy commented on GitHub (Sep 8, 2025):

I've just submitted a fix for this (pull request #7469) - pip does not install the 'lxml' dependency causing the installation to fail.

Until the pull request is merged you can get around this issue by editing line 39 of the script:
pip install -U pip setuptools wheel pyyaml && to include the 'lxml' dependency.

The command should be:
pip install -U pip setuptools wheel pyyaml lxml &&
