presidio: ValueError: NLP engine 'transformers' is not available.

I am trying to use Transformers based Named Entity Recognition models using the following configuration, Iam getting the following error

configuration = {
    "nlp_engine_name": "transformers",
    "models": [{
                    "lang_code": "en",
                    "model_name": {
                        "spacy": "en_core_web_sm",
                        "transformers": "bigcode/starpii",
                    },
                }],
}

ValueError: NLP engine ‘transformers’ is not available. Make sure you have all required packages installed

transformers doesn’t come with the vanilla Presidio installation. Have you installed it with the [transformers] extra?

pip install "presidio_analyzer[transformers]"
pip install presidio_anonymizer
python -m spacy download en_core_web_sm
