error while importing eleanor

Hi,
I installed Eleanor. While importing the module I am facing the following error

TypeError: Descriptors cannot not be created directly.
If this call came from a _pb2.py file, your generated code is out of date and must be regenerated with protoc >= 3.19.0.
If you cannot immediately regenerate your protos, some other possible workarounds are:

1. Downgrade the protobuf package to 3.20.x or lower.
2. Set PROTOCOL_BUFFERS_PYTHON_IMPLEMENTATION=python (but this will use pure-Python parsing and will be much slower).

My python version is Python 3.7.16. Please help

I have a similar case. Has any solution been found for this ?

I installed from Github instead of pip install and it worked for me.

Hi, Thanks for your suggestion. I have now successfully installed the eleanor module as you mentioned before.
However, while I am trying to replicate the quickstart guide ( https://eleanor.readthedocs.io/en/latest/getting_started/tutorial.html ), I am running into following problem :

data = eleanor.TargetData(star, height=15, width=15, bkg_size=31, do_psf=True, regressors='corner')

Are you facing the same issue?
