Hello kensanata, I tried to install with the command: pip3 install mastodon-archive But I got this error message:

Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-build-4kf7emri/mastodon-archive/

Can you help me?

kensanata commented 5 years ago

Sadly, I have no idea what this means. Your setup is somehow broken? Perhaps somebody else can help?

MaiaDereva commented 5 years ago

OK, thank you, I'll try to find someone (I'm not an expert ^^)

MaiaDereva commented 5 years ago

For information, somebody helped me with the command: pip3 install --user setuptools Now everything works well :)

kensanata commented 5 years ago

Very cool! I'll add that to the README. Thanks!
