Having Issue with Installation

[Harshil-Jani]

I have been trying to install Dynamic CLI as per developers guidelines given, but when I ran dynamic -v it throwed some traceback call.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/dynamic", line 33, in <module>
    sys.exit(load_entry_point('dynamic-cli', 'console_scripts', 'dynamic')())
  File "/usr/bin/dynamic", line 22, in importlib_load_entry_point
    for entry_point in distribution(dist_name).entry_points
  File "/usr/lib/python3.8/importlib/metadata.py", line 503, in distribution
    return Distribution.from_name(distribution_name)
  File "/usr/lib/python3.8/importlib/metadata.py", line 177, in from_name
    raise PackageNotFoundError(name)
importlib.metadata.PackageNotFoundError: dynamic-cli

I am using Python 3.8.10. I even tried manually installing importlib-metadata using pip3 install importlib-metadata but this says Requirement already satisfied: importlib-metadata in /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages (1.5.0)

Hey @Harshil-Jani ,

Thanks for putting this issue out. I tried in my local again to install the dynamic from fresh. I didn't get the error as such

(temp) gourav@LAPTOP-PHS5P97J:~/ubuntu$ dynamic -v Dynamic-CLI version 0.1.0

I'm also using python 3.8.10. Can you specify which OS you're using ? We currently support linux based OS and Mac. For window, you have to install WSL to make our dynamic cli works. Please let me know if you need any help

[GouravSardana]

Maybe it's conflicting with your local packages which are installed. You can try using virtualenv and install dynamic in the virtual env

@GouravSardana I lastly used sudo pip3 install dynamic-cli and it is working well, but found no solution to existing problem. So, If you find any solution to that please let me know. I have tried by changing some Paths but it didn't worked. I

Hey @Harshil-Jani I am using Ubuntu 21.10 and Python Version 3.9.7 and it is working great.

I also faced the issue at last step, it was due to permission issue. Which you can fix it by adding sudo before it.

Here is the exact command: sudo pip3 install -e .
