Installation of ASTERIA failed locally and on cobalt cluster with python 3.10

[jakob2508]

First tried to install ASTERIA locally with Python 3.8.10:
$ python setup.py install
Failed to install SNEWPY dependency, possibly due to prior installations

Tried to created virtual python environment.
$ python3 -m venv ./venv_asteria
Failed as virtual environment not installed.

Tried to install virtual environmnet.
$ sudo apt install python3.8-venv

libc-bin
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Then switched to the cobalt nodes and installed virtual environment.
$ python3 -m venv ./venv_asteria
and activated virtual environment. Configured preinstalled git and cloned ASTERIA repository with HTTPS.
$ git clone https://github.com/icecube/ASTERIA.git
Moved to ASTERIA directory and tried to install program
$ python setup.py install
