How to install?

Hi, It seems that pip install pycatch22 or catch22 fails to install.

Thanks for the note (and quick response!) I am new to pip, but I hope it's now working (in v0.4.1)?

[arandomgoodguy]

Thanks to the quick response as well, but I think the pip still doesn't work yet, with a different error. (I test it using Google Colab.)

Not sure about that. Hopefully someone with python skillz can help. I'm having issues in general with including the header directory in the pip distribution. The manual install is going to be the best bet until this is fixed (cf. #2 )

[benfulcher]

Hopefully this is now fixed with v0.4.2: https://pypi.org/project/pycatch22/

Hi just thought to let you know the installation doesn't work on Colab, not from the repo, nor from pypi.

[benfulcher]

I've heard from a user with this problem, which was due to Colab using an old version of setuptools in their notebook. See if it helps to first try:

!pip install setuptools --upgrade

[OmarHory]

I am still facing the same issue even after upgrading setuptools. I need to install this in DataBricks.

[firmai]

Excellent that worked, if you are in colab just remember to restart your colab after upgrading setuptools

[benfulcher]

Great. @OmarHory hopefully this works with an update then restart…? The fallback would be a manual install (rather than with pip)

python3 setup.py build
python3 setup.py install
