When I'm following the user guide to install the ics-tools in my python virtual environment under VSCode, I found these errors.

Here is my installation:

git clone https://github.com/microsoft/ics-forensics-tools.git
./.venv/bin/python -m pip install -r requirements.txt
./.venv/bin/python ./src/driver.py

Seems like numpy 2.0.0 has been installed on your system.
I assume this version is not supported, could you please try to downgrade to numpy 1.26.4 or 1.26.0?
