How to install Cocos2d? #349

Closed ruichen0 closed 2 years ago

ruichen0 commented 2 years ago

When I try to install Cocos2d,there is a prompt of error like this: " Preparing metadata (setup.py) ... error error: subprocess-exited-with-error

× python setup.py egg_info did not run successfully. │ exit code: 1 ╰─> [1 lines of output] ERROR: Can not execute setup.py since setuptools is not available in the build environment. [end of output]

note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip. error: metadata-generation-failed

× Encountered error while generating package metadata. ╰─> See above for output.

note: This is an issue with the package mentioned above, not pip. hint: See above for details. " How to solve it?

Hi!

Sorry you encountered this issue. The problem is that we don't have - yet - a pyproject.toml file which would indicate that you need setuptools in order to run setup.py.

The quick fix for you right now is to create a virtual environment and install setuptools and wheel before installing cocos2d.

$ pip install setuptools wheel
$ pip install cocos2d
