Owa-epanet RequirementError

[ludderi]

I was following the building instructions in the readme at owa-epanet and when preforming pipenv install ../dist /*.whl I met the following error

C:\Users\lulin\pythonroom\epanet-python\owa-epanet\dist>pipenv install *whl

pipenv.vendor.requirementslib.exceptions.RequirementError: Failed parsing requirement from '*whl'

I hope someone can provide some guidance in how to solve this error.

I think we'll need more info here - looks like python 3.9, using pipenv (what version?) - also seems strange to run pipenv commands from the dist directory. Also how was the wheel built, and were there any errors or problems during that phase?

might be easier to just install/build from pypi, as that has a proven track record.
