Hi
I am trying to install Image Compare Library using the command
pip install imagecompare

I can’t install the library and am getting the errors blow

(venv) <directory>pip install imagecompare

Collecting imagecompare
Using cached imagecompare-0.2.zip (1.6 kB)
Preparing metadata (setup.py) … done
Building wheels for collected packages: imagecompare
Building wheel for imagecompare (setup.py) … error

error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: ‘image_compare’
[end of output]

note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.
ERROR: Failed building wheel for imagecompare
Running setup.py clean for imagecompare
Failed to build imagecompare
ERROR: Could not build wheels for imagecompare, which is required to install pyproject.toml-based projects

I hope someone can help me. Thankyou

or

Maybe you want to give them a try instead.
