Hi @JamesNewton ,

Welcome to this Community!

The most common solution would be to downgrade the version of setuptools that is currently installed on the virtual machine.
Run the below command on a terminal in your environment.

pip install setuptools==58.2.0

This should fix your problem. Let me know if the problem still persists.

Regards,
Girish
