Clunky fix for installing on Debian Bookworm - Python 3.11

[kazzle101]

Hello
Installing on my Debian bookworm setup using sudo pip install TLE-tools gave this error:

        196 |   #include "longintrepr.h"
            |            ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
      compilation terminated.
      error: command '/usr/bin/x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc' failed with exit code 1
      [end of output]

  note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.
  ERROR: Can't roll back astropy; was not uninstalled
error: legacy-install-failure

× Encountered error while trying to install package.
╰─> astropy

to fix this I do the following:

sudo apt install astropy
cd ~
git clone https://github.com/FedericoStra/tletools.git
cd tletools

then edited setup.py and changed 'astropy>=3.2.0' to 'astropy>=5.2.1'' in the install_requires` section, saved the file then continued with:

sudo python setup.py install

It looks like the setup is choosing the old 3.2.1 version rather than that supplied by the debian install

Hope that helps someone

Thanks for figuring out that work around. After getting it installed I'm seeing the following error with Python 3.12.3.

$ python3 -m venv ~/.tle
$ source ~/.tle/bin/activate

It looks like the above setup didn't install the dependencies. When I tried to install them I hit a roadblock with poliastro:

This is the latest roadblock I've hit. There seems to be an un-merged pull request for this https://github.com/pleiszenburg/hapsira/pull/20/files

I'll update this ticket as I find workarounds:
