No module named 'setuptools.command.build'

I am trying to install evo2 in a GPU instance.

When trying to install evo2, with pip install , I am getting the message

Processing /evo2
Preparing metadata (setup.py) … error
error: subprocess-exited-with-error

× python setup.py egg_info did not run successfully.

note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.

I ran
!apt-get install python3-setuptools
that did not help
