Installing my project from testpypi gives me an error

Question

I am learning how to package python projects and publish them and I ran into a problem I have been trying to solve ,but failed.

I have this small project and I am trying to upload it to Testpypi

I managed to upload it there and I can even find it at (https://test.pypi.org/project/cli-assistant/)

Problem: When I try to install it using

pip install -i https://test.pypi.org/simple/ cli-assistant

I get this error:

Looking in indexes: https://test.pypi.org/simple/

ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement cli-assistant (from versions: none)

ERROR: No matching distribution found for cli-assistant

Here is the full setup.py file

from setuptools import setup, find_packages

with open("Description.rst", "r", encoding="utf-8") as fh:
    long_description = fh.read()
with open("requirements.txt", "r", encoding="utf-8") as fh:
    requirements = fh.read()

setup(
 name= 'cli-assistant',
 version= '0.0.5',
 author= 'my name',
 author_email= 'my email',

 }

You have uploaded only an .egg file. Pip cannot install eggs. You should upload a source distribution (.tar.gz or .zip) and/or a wheel (.whl).
