About requirements.txt for Agentic AI: mistralai package quarantined in PyPI

I’m leveraging the DeepLearning.ai platform to complete Agentic AI with Andrew Ng. I’m setting-up my own environment on a MacBook Pro using VS Code, Conda, and the provided requirements.txt file (below), which includes the package mistralai. There is an error when I try to install this particular package (see below). PyPI currently shows this package as quarantined, which means pip cannot install it right now. PyPI says quarantined projects are “not installable by clients.”

# In the active conda environment with Python 3.12.13 installed:

$ python -m pip install -r requirements.txt

ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement mistralai (from versions: none) 
ERROR: No matching distribution found for mistralai
  1. Is the mistralai package essential?
  2. Is there a work-around for the installation error?

For reference, here are the contents of the requirements.txt file. (Note that the “W” in “Wikipedia” should probably be in lowercase.
