the requirements.txt is looking for Darwin (MacOS) so I have no idea how it can be installed on Linux. Contact the github person.

The GitHub page for Vocal Remover GUI (and its upstream form) both offer specific Linux installation instructions.

So, given the errors you encountered in your build process, and what Eugene has identified about the "imp" package no longer being part of the Python standard library, it would seem that you need to approach the developers to revisit their code and replace that with an appropriate substitute.

A Google lookup suggest that the substitute should be "importlib".

This next is a discussion specifically about migrating from imp to importlib, which might help you get your code working as you want:
