If you get this error: `ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'setuptools'`, it is because `setuptools`
50+
is not installed on your system. Although some Python installers will install it, `setuptools` is `not part of the Python standard library <https://docs.python.org/3/py-modindex.html#cap-s>`_.
51+
See this `guide <https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/guides/installing-using-linux-tools/>`_ to install it in your system.
