set up problem

[shelu16]

    It is possible a package already installed in your system
    contains an version that is invalid according to PEP 440.
    You can try `pip install --use-pep517` as a workaround for this problem,
    or rely on a new virtual environment.

    If the problem refers to a package that is not installed yet,
    please contact that package's maintainers or distributors.

Same here, dnsvalidator was running ok and suddenly this error started happening.

Also when trying to run dnsvalidtor

try pip3 install setuptools==58.2.0

[fuad00]

Try my fork

[NorthShad0w]

try pip install pytest-runner

[dileep800]

Try the installation command using sudo python3 setup.py install

and when you receive any error in cant write packages and cant read packages just add sudo in front of command

[DrTenma1998]

you can try Instead of using setup.py, install the package using pip :

pip3 install .

(in your dir of the tool)
