Error when installing on Mac

When I run the command, pip install -U openai-whisper or anything else in attempt to install Whisper, I always get this error:

File "/private/var/folders/95/4lj58ngx1nv85r8nrytwwqyw0000gp/T/pip-build-env-xq98ng57/overlay/lib/python3.13/site-packages/setuptools/build_meta.py", line 318, in run_setup

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

Instead of installing via pip, clone the latest version of repository, create a virtual env and install requirements via pip install . or pip install -r requirements.txt
This works!

still not figuring it out :( is there any other interface i could use to code it?

The issue could be triggered by Python 3.13, have you tried 3.12?

this works for me, successfully installed the open-whisper after downgraded the python version to 3.12
thanks!
