Running on Linux

[Cindy-Jie-01]

How would you set this up on Linux? I see installation files for Windows and Mac.

You have two main options: with the manual istructions using pip, or using docker.
In both cases you would start by downloading the repository (the "Source code" link in Releases, or for the latest version the "Code > Download" green button on the main page).
The pip option should be the most straightforward, provided you don't have conflicting dependencies in your environment. To isolate dependencies you'd use virtualenv or pyenv.
The docker option isolates the dependencies very strongly since it builds a virtual machine.

I have tried to install it with pip, but I receive this:

Things seem to go smooth with Python 3.8 though. Is there some issue with Python 3.10 ?

For other users experiencing the same issue: that was related to pip.
Upgrading pipwith

python3.10 -m pip install --upgrade pip

solved the problem.
