Why I get this error installing python venv software?

I'm quite new to linux and python and I'm trying to install a python software (openmotor) in a python virtual enviroment as the author recommends to do it but I'm getting this error message when trying to install required packages.

$ pip install -r requirements.txt

The software is being developed in Python 3.10 but my venv is running 3.8 I guess as it is my main python instalation could it be the cause? if not, any tips in how to solve it?

Thanks
