Expected behaviour

To get a fresh masonite installation.

Steps to reproduce the bug

1. Have a Windows Home 11
2. Install python 3.12.6 with choco
3. Create directory for project
4. Create python -3.12 -m venv venv
5. source ./venv/Scripts/activate
6. python -m pip install --upgrade pip setuptools
7. python -m pip install masonite

@redeemefy I know it's late, but I had similar issue and that's how I ran into your issue.

Based on the provided error output, the reason for the installation failure is that the distutils module is missing from your Python environment. The pendulum package, which is a dependency of masonite, is trying to build a wheel, but its build script fails because it cannot find distutils.
