Install error

[LukeWheeldon]

Thank you for this very handy project. I find myself unable to install it unfortunately. OS is Debian 10.

$ git clone http://github.com/stakelink/substrate-payctl

$ pip install substrate-payctl
Collecting substrate-payctl
Could not install packages due to an EnvironmentError: 404 Client Error: Not Found for url: https://pypi.org/simple/substrate-payctl/

Update:

The following command seems to do the trick:

python3 -m pip install -e git+https://github.com/stakelink/substrate-payctl#egg=payctl

However I then get the following error:

requests 2.25.1 has requirement idna<3,>=2.5, but you'll have idna 3.1 which is incompatible.

Which seems to be fixed that way:

python3 -m pip uninstall idna
python3 -m pip install idna==2.10

pip install command is ambiguous and its parameter may mean a public python package or a local folder. I think in your case is taking the first option, and the public package don't exist.

I think it should work if you add a "/" at the end to explicitly indicate it is a folder:

pip install substrate-payctl/

Another option is the following:

cd substrate-payctl
pip install .

pip3 install substrate-payctl/ worked for me, thanks.

After that, when I execute payctl it says Command 'payctl' not found. What do we need to do in order to launch the executable? Thanks

@iicc1 you need to add the path of payctl to your environment variables, such as, for example:

echo "export PATH=$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH" >> ~/.bashrc
source .bashrc

The method can vary slightly depending on your system.
