Error when Setting Up bench_runner on EC2 Instance

[MAMV3x3]

Description

When attempting to set up bench_runner to run pyperformance benchmarks on an EC2 instance for the cinder repo, I encountered an AssertionError during the installation process.

Steps to reproduce

1. Followed the instructions provided by the Faster CPython project's Benchmarking tools.
2. Created an EC2 instance.
3. Set up a fresh repository as per documentation: cinder_bench_runner
4. Added git+https://github.com/faster-cpython/bench_runner@v0.2.2#egg=bench_runner to a requirements.txt file.
5. Installed the requirements using python -m pip install -r requirements.txt.
6. Executed python3 -m bench_runner.scripts.install.

Expected Behavior:

The bench_runner should set up without errors, generating necessary files in .github/workflows and other configurations at the root of the repository.

Actual Behavior:

Encountered the following error:

❯ python -m bench_runner.scripts.install
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python3.10/runpy.py", line 196, in _run_module_as_main

    available_runners = [r for r in runners.get_runners() if r.available]
  File "/home/mamv3x3/cinder_bench_runner/venv/lib/python3.10/site-packages/bench_runner/runners.py", line 39, in get_runners
    assert len(runners)
AssertionError

Would appreciate any help or guidance to resolve this issue!

It seems that the bench_runner installation script may be expecting a runner to be already set up. The error suggests it's attempting to identify available runners but isn't finding any, leading to the AssertionError. I'll try setting up the GitHub Actions self-hosted runner first and then rerun the installation script to see if it resolves the issue.
