Contributing guidelines pip install not working #660

Closed matthiaskoenig closed 5 years ago

matthiaskoenig commented 5 years ago

When trying to follow the Contributing.md guidelines I get the following errors

pip install -e .

resulting in

Obtaining file:///home/mkoenig/git/memote
ERROR: Error installing 'file:///home/mkoenig/git/memote': editable mode is not supported for pyproject.toml-style projects. pip is processing this project as pyproject.toml-style because it has a pyproject.toml file. Since the project has a setup.py and the pyproject.toml has no "build-backend" key for the "build_system" value, you may pass --no-use-pep517 to opt out of pyproject.toml-style processing. See PEP 517 for details on pyproject.toml-style projects.

Could you update the contributing guidelines? How do I install memote for development?

This is a fairly recent error. You can work around this by using python setup.py develop, by using the option mentioned in the error message, i.e., pip install --no-use-pep517 -e ., or by downgrading pip pip install "pip<=19".

Thanks. I was not sure if something in the installation changed.
