Install ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement rdkit (from descriptastorus)

[holeung]

Hi,

I am trying to install in LinuxMint and run into this error message after pip install descriptastorus.

ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement rdkit (from descriptastorus)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for rdkit

can you remove rdkit-pypi in requirement.txt and use conda to install rdkit using "conda install -c rdkit rdkit"?
