Unable to install pdfx #16

Closed fl0x2208 closed 3 years ago

fl0x2208 commented 8 years ago

I am trying to follow the instructions you have provided but it is not installing pdfx.

easy_install or pip gives error with regards to requirements. Can you please add a requiremients.txt to the code for pip install if required.

runing easy_install -U pdfx or setup.py gives couldn't find a setup script

metachris commented 8 years ago

Can you please post the output of the command easy_install -U pdfx

fl0x2208 commented 8 years ago

Thanks for the response Chris. Error shown below

root@ubuntu# easy_install -U pdfx Processing pdfx error: Couldn't find a setup script in /pathtodpfxfolder/pdfx

for some reason downloading the zip file and than doing pip didn't work. Also easy_install didn't work.

Thought I was doing something wrong. The steps I had to take to fix it.

  1. git clone https://github.com/metachris/pdfx.git
  2. cd pdfx
  3. pip install pdfx

and it worked like a charm. A very good work.

I'm having problems installing pdfx on CentOS as well. It tries to install a Mac OSX package for the dependency of pdfminer2:

Can you try with v1.4.1 please? pip install -U pdfx. If the problem still exists, please reopen. Thanks
