Impossible to get started

I’ve been trying for a while to have CircleCI install my dependencies. Always fails on:

RuntimeError

Poetry could not find a pyproject.toml file in /home/circleci/project or its parents

at ~/.poetry/lib/poetry/_vendor/py3.8/poetry/core/factory.py:369 in locate
365│ if poetry_file.exists():
366│ return poetry_file
367│
368│ else:
→ 369│ raise RuntimeError(
370│ “Poetry could not find a pyproject.toml file in {} or its parents”.format(
371│ cwd
372│ )
373│ )

Exited with code exit status 1

No matter what I do
