no setup.py installation error #24

Closed prlw1 closed 3 years ago

prlw1 commented 3 years ago

According to https://opendrop.readthedocs.io/en/latest/getting_started/index.html the magic command for installation is

pip install git+https://github.com/jdber1/opendrop.git

but this fails for me with

    FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/tmp/pip-z6sowu38-build/setup.py'

In July, I see that commit a6283bba834aa3ec3eee432e6a12cfc41c04eaa7 removed setup.py. Is this related? Is there a new magic command?

Since that commit the project has moved to the PEP 517 build system instead of using setup.py. Could you try updating pip and setuptools with

pip install --upgrade pip setuptools

since the older versions might not support this newer format (and make sure your Python version is >= 3.5) and then try installing again.

Indeed! Sorry about that. (pip3 updated from ubuntu repository via apt wasn't recent enough)

No problems.
