error while installing yolox

• I am facing following error while installing YOLOX. I tried updating pip and setup tools. I need to install YOLOX and use it with the unstructured library for images and table extracting. I am new to python and Machine learning. Please help me regarding the following:

$ pip3 install -v -e .
Using pip 24.0 from C:\Users\k.divyanshu\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python312\Lib\site-packages\pip (python 3.12)
DEPRECATION: Loading egg at c:\users\k.divyanshu\appdata\local\programs\python\python312\lib\site-packages\yolox-0.3.0-py3.12.egg is deprecated. pip 24.3 will enforce this behaviour change. A possible replacement is to use pip for package installation.. Discussion can be found at https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/12330

This is -- a caller that pip uses to run setup.py

It imports setuptools before invoking setup.py, to enable projects that directly
import from distutils.core to work with newer packaging standards.
It provides a clear error message when setuptools is not installed.
It sets sys.argv[0] to the underlying setup.py, when invoking setup.py so
setuptools doesn'"'"'t think the script is -c. This avoids the following warning:
manifest_maker: standard file '"'"'-c'"'"' not found".
It generates a shim setup.py, for handling setup.cfg-only projects.

note: This is an issue with the package mentioned above, not pip.
hint: See above for details.

Start with the repository's setup.py and MANIFEST.in, then reproduce pip3 install -v -e . using Python 3.12 to inspect the onnx-simplifier metadata failure shown in the report. Done means the YOLOX editable installation completes successfully without the InvalidVersion error.
