Issue

I was trying to install the app in my new server but I had the python version 3.13 and the library showed me an error so I uninstalled that version and installed the 3.12 and it worked.

@MendezStats - Thanks for calling this out. I ran into a python 3.13 issue a while back while getting a new CI build up. I've flipped this over to a bug.

@MendezStats - Took a look at this. The issue is with Numpy 2.0 in that it requires a python version >=3.10. In turn, Numpy 1.x requires that a python version < 3.13. The pyproject.toml file needs an update to indicate which version of numpy is compatible with the various versions of python. I'll work on getting this resolved and an update out.
