import error in python

[lwq-star]

When I run import Rbeast as rb I get the following error:
My computer system is win10, and I run the code in spyder (python version is 3.12.8)

AttributeError                            Traceback (most recent call last)
AttributeError: _ARRAY_API not found

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

SystemError                               Traceback (most recent call last)

The same problem occurs when I run in python3.10.16 environment

The issue comes from a numpy incompatibility. Install a NumPy version < 2, and that should hopefully fix the problem.
