LFS dependencies errors on Mac? (descript audiotools)

Hi, tried to install on Mac today, and was blocked with a LFS dependency issue:

I don't install Python dependencies often, so I might miss something here, but it seems a LFS issue with descript repo?

PS: not all git installs have LFS enabled (mine didn't), and having LFS repos in the dependency tree could be mentioned on the readme?

[EDIT:] Of course this error is after I installed LFS

[EDIT 2]: I could clone the audiotools repo and pull the LFS files without issues when cloning it directly / separately with git clone, in its own directory, pulled the LFS files without issue, so I guess it's an uv issue?

Machine: Mac OS 14.4.1 MacBook Air M2

[EDIT 3] the issue is with a dependency of parler-tts

[juliendorra]

using pip3 install -r requirements_mac.txt instead of uv pip install -r requirements_mac.txt seems to have fixed the issue.

Seeing several uv-related issues (?) on the tracker, maybe we could point in the readme to using pip via pip3 on Mac?
(I may be mistaken, but I think pip is pip3 by default on Mac? no pip path?)

In my case, uv pip install -r requirements_mac.txt fails due to moonshine using pkg_resources, which is deprecated
