Here are the commands I wrote:

sudo apt-get install libssl-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libyaml-dev build-essential libopenblas-dev libcap-dev ffmpeg
git clone https://github.com/datamllab/tods.git
cd tods
pip install -e .

I already have the last version of setuptools:

pip install --upgrade setuptools
Requirement already satisfied: setuptools in /home/gguebin/miniforge3/lib/python3.12/site-packages (80.9.0)

Do you have any tips to install properly TODS ?
