Installation failing from wheel

[jaineshhira99]

Hi everyone,

I am having a weird issue installing PymuPDF. A later version then 1.20.1 works fine.

Python version is 3.11.1
Pip version is 23.0
Pymupdf installation 1.20.1

Building wheels for collected packages: PyMuPDF
  Building wheel for PyMuPDF (setup.py) ... error

I did read that mupdf is now part of pymupdf. Do I need to install mupdf separately?
Or is there no wheel for this version on windows amd64?

Correct, v1.20.1 only had wheels up to Python 3.10.
