pip install u8darts tries to install prophet

[TueLindhart]

Describe the bug
When using pip install u8darts, it also tries to install prophet even though the documentation says it will not install prophet. Installation fails when it tries to install prophet and I would therefore like to avoid installing it as I dont need it.

To Reproduce
Run pip install u8darts

Expected behavior
Expected it does not try to install prophet

System (please complete the following information):

• Python version: 3.9.11
• darts version 0.24.0

Additional context
I have a a MacOS with M2 chip running on MacOS 13.2.1.

+1. Same applies to u8darts[torch]

You are right, we included prophet back to the core requirements a while ago as they fixed many of the previous installation issues.
We currently have a discussion/PR about this here with some users explaining how they got it to work on M1/M2.

I just checked locally, darts, u8darts and u8darts[torch] do not install prophet anymore.

Closing this for now, @Coolnesss & @TueLindhart feel free to reopen if the problem persists on your side.
