Installation error

[TKsh6]

When I ran this command, python setup.py install --install-platlib=./src/ I got this error,

/beegfs/home/syl/anaconda3/envs/virhost/lib/python3.11/site-packages/setuptools/command/install.py:34: SetuptoolsDeprecationWarning: setup.py install is deprecated. Use build and pip and other standards-based tools.

TEST FAILED: ./src/ does NOT support .pth files
bad install directory or PYTHONPATH

You are attempting to install a package to a directory that is not
on PYTHONPATH and which Python does not read ".pth" files from.  The
installation directory you specified (via --install-dir, --prefix, or
the distutils default setting) was:

    ./src/

and your PYTHONPATH environment variable currently contains:

    ''

Here are some of your options for correcting the problem:

* You can choose a different installation directory, i.e., one that is
  on PYTHONPATH or supports .pth files

* You can add the installation directory to the PYTHONPATH environment
  variable.  (It must then also be on PYTHONPATH whenever you run
  Python and want to use the package(s) you are installing.)

* You can set up the installation directory to support ".pth" files by
  using one of the approaches described here:

Please make the appropriate changes for your system and try again.

Hi,

You can try to use conda installation:

conda install -c hcc virhostmatcher-net

or follow the README, and install virhostmatcher-net with conda , then copy the scr/tool* files obtained from conda installation to the path your\path\VirHostMatcher-Net/src/

it works for me. you can have a try probably.

export PYTHONPATH=./src:$PYTHONPATH

The following conda environment definition seems to work:

channels:
 - conda-forge
 - bioconda
 - hcc
dependencies:
 - numpy=1.19.5
 - pandas=1.4.4
 - biopython=1.81
 - virhostmatcher-net=0.0.2021.08.29

It's important to pin the numpy version not to run into AttributeError: module 'numpy' has no attribute 'float'..
