Installation errors with pip

[azournas]

Describe the bug
conda env create -f environment.yml does not work. I suspect that this is due to Anaconda removing support for any version <3.8. I tried the installation through pip. Here is the error I got.

Input:

pip install phoenics

Output:
Collecting phoenics
Using cached phoenics-0.2.0.tar.gz (177 kB)
Preparing metadata (setup.py) ... error
error: subprocess-exited-with-error
