  ERROR: Failed building wheel for ssm
  Running setup.py clean for ssm
Failed to build ssm

The installation finishes, however when running either notebook importing errors appear.
ex: ImportError: cannot import name 'logsumexp' from 'autograd.scipy.misc'

Here are the exact steps used for installation:

1. create a virtual environment: python3 -m venv venv
2. activate set virtual environment: source venv/bin/activate
3. install numpy and cython as suggested in ssm package: pip install numpy cython
   if I skip this step installation stops due to lack of these 2 packages.
4. Follow installation instructions:

    git clone https://github.com/davidzoltowski/ssmdm.git
    cd ssmdm
    pip install -e .

Solution: The installation issue disappears if one works in the same environment used by a successfully installed [ssm repo].(https://github.com/lindermanlab/ssm)

NOTE: to avoid future git issues, do not clone the ssmdm into the ssm git folder.
