I would like to import custom ML models to Elasticsearch, thus am using Eland to do it. However, to import custom ML models, I am to use `eland_import_hub_model` command which requires me to install pytorch using _python -m pip 'install eland[pytorch]'_ . However I got an error saying- **ERROR: Invalid requirement: "'eland[pytorch]'"**

May i know what is causing this issue?

Hello @xynobob,

Did you install the `eland` package?

`python -m pip install eland`
