[REQUEST] - <State dependency versions required to install primaite >

[jake321southall]

Is your feature request related to a problem?

Hi, I'm an engineer at Frazer-Nash Consultancy. We've been having trouble installing primaite on our computers. The issue seemed to stem from primaite using gym version 0.21.0. This was solved when we downgraded setuptools to version 65.5.0 and pip to version 21. After this we could install the primaite whl and run the primaite setup command. More info can be found here:

openai/gym#3176

Describe the solution you'd like:

The setuptools and pip versions you need to install primaite stated on the documentation.

Thanks!

Hi @jake321southall.

Thanks for your message. Please see the Engineering Notes section of the v2.0.0 release notes which includes information about dependency issues with Gym, Pip, Setuptools. Further information on these issues can be found in this Yawning-Titan discussion post: dstl/YAWNING-TITAN#59.

For PrimAITE v2.0.0 we're required to zero in on specific versions of Pip and Setuptools. I had thought we'd included these in the install script itself but it appears we did not. These have now been updated. For ease, I've copied the install scripts over:
