Fail to install TEA

[Kenman-22]

Hi!

Thank you so much for developing this interesting app! However, I am running into some issues trying to download it. I am currently using python version 3.14.2, pip version 26.0.1, and Ubuntu 24.04 LTS Linux 6.8.0-94-generic.

python -m pip install git+https://github.com/PickyBinders/tea.git

Any help would be appreciated!

There was an issue with the pyproject.toml file that only triggers on newer Python versions. Can you check if it's installable now?
