lm-eval pip package version issue

[digantdesai]

🐛 Describe the bug

I tried to install torchchat on a new machine, w/ a new clone, and following instructions ran into this issue.

$ git describe --all --long
heads/main-0-g56be609
[...]

$ ./install/install_requirements.sh # in venv

[...]

INFO: pip is looking at multiple versions of lm-eval to determine which version is compatible with other requirements. This could take a while.
ERROR: Ignored the following versions that require a different python version: 0.55.2 Requires-Python <3.5; 1.21.2 Requires-Python >=3.7,<3.11; 1.21.3 Requires-Python >=3.7,<3.11; 1.21.4 Requires-Python >=3.7,<3.11; 1.21.5 Requires-Python >=3.7,<3.11; 1.21.6 Requires-Python >=3.7,<3.11; 1.26.0 Requires-Python <3.13,>=3.9; 1.26.1 Requires-Python <3.13,>=3.9
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement torch>=1.8 (from lm-eval) (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for torch>=1.8

Commenting this package out works.
