Thanks a lot for the detailed explanation. I followed the same steps, but got the same error. The error is got while Getting distribution for 'zc.recipe.egg==2.0.7'.

This looks like an incompatibility between setuptools and zc.buildout
(or a broken setuptools installation).
Check with pip show the versions of setuptools and zc.buildout;
verify that those versions are mentoned in Plone's requirements.txt.
pip 23.1.2 from /home/webadmin/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/pip (python 3.8)
But whenever I create a virtual environment, I get default pip version 9.0.1.
The minimal buildout.cfg worked when I upgraded my pip from 9.0.1 to 23.1.2 in virtual environment.
When I install Plone 5.2.12 with ./install.sh, plone itself creates a virtual environment with our python3.8, while creating the environment it is also creating a pip default 9.0.1 version, and thus the above errors are occured and the installation stops. We can't interrupt the installation process and upgrade and run it again.
Is their a method where by creating virtualenv we get default pip of higher version.
When I run sudo apt install python3-pip I get the below message as 9.0.1 is installed.

python3-pip is already the newest version (9.0.1-2.3~ubuntu1.18.04.8).
Hello, Thanks a lot, changed the pip version and the plone version 5.2.12 installed with python version 3.8
Our website is hosted on plone since three years. I have updated the version from 5.2.0 to 5.2.12. But the backend is python2.7 itself. Now, I need to migrate the data layer from python2.7 to python3.8.
I assumed after installing plone with pyhton3.8 and version 5.2.12, moving the var/ folder which includes blobstorage will do the job. I removed the initial var/ folder of python3.8 setup and replaced with the old var/ folder which consists of three years data. But after running bin/buildout and starting plone with bin/plonectl start, the plone is not running and show this site can't be reached. Please help me in migrating plone. Thanks and Regards
