Installing depencies in conda takes forever

[TinoCoda]

After cloning localGPT in my computer, I create a virtual environment using conda with the following command conda create -n localGPT_llama2 and then I activated the VE using conda activate localGPT_llama2.
Running pip install -r requirements.txt it takes forever to install the depencies. I tried it on two computers it can easily take hours and hours.
My first question: is someone else experiencing this problem?
A subsequent issue it the compatibility problems between some libraries. I ran into the following error after trying to run python ingest.py --device_type cpu

C:\Users\Me\AppData\anaconda3\envs\localGPT_llama2\lib\site-packages\langchain\embeddings\huggingface.py", line 152, in init
raise ValueError("Dependencies for InstructorEmbedding not found.") from e
ValueError: Dependencies for InstructorEmbedding not found.

For me it took nearly a hour to install all the packages.

I was able to solve this issue by installing the huggingface-hub package.

pip install huggingface-hub===0.24.0
