Description

I have been trying to install Eel's support for Jinja templates using Python 3.10.0, 3.10.16, and 3.12 using the command: pip install eel[jinja2]; however, I always get a message saying "Not matches found". What can be wrong ?

Research direction
Check the Eel repository's setup.py or pyproject.toml to confirm that the 'jinja2' extra is defined. The issue reports that `pip install eel[jinja2]` returns 'No matches found', which may indicate a missing extra or a packaging error. Also verify the user's pip version and ensure they are using the latest release of Eel. Consider adding a comment asking the maintainer to confirm the correct syntax or to add the missing extra if needed.
