Installation errors

[brandon-holt]

When installing to virtual environment via pip (i.e., "pip install pyalign"), the following error appears:

ValueError: path '/home/runner/work/pyalign/pyalign/pyalign/algorithm/module.cpp' cannot be absolute

When trying to install via github (i.e., "pip install -e git+https://github.com/poke1024/pyalign#egg=pyalign"), the following error appears:

error: Support for editable installs via PEP 660 was recently introduced
in setuptools. If you are seeing this error, please report to:

  https://github.com/pypa/setuptools/issues

Any ideas on how to address this issue?
