Description

Describe what you were trying to get done. Tell us what happened, what went wrong, and what you expected to happen.

I am trying to install from source. Specifically, I want to install from source to install a previous version of kingdon because I am trying to emulate what sudgylacmoe does at the end of his "A Swift Introduction to Projective Geometric Algebra" video. However, whether I try to install previous versions or the latest version via the setup.py file, the result is the same.

What I Did

python3 setup.py

steven@DESKTOP-3V2G4GR:~/kingdon$ python3 setup.py                                                                                                                                                         

Results:

usage: setup.py [global_opts] cmd1 [cmd1_opts] [cmd2 [cmd2_opts] ...]
or: setup.py --help [cmd1 cmd2 ...]
or: setup.py --help-commands
or: setup.py cmd --help
error: no commands supplied

I see now there is a Makefile. Not sure why I didn't notice it before. I simply saw the setup.py and focused on that. My mistake, though, it wouldn't be bad to add an "installation from source" instructions part in the readme just for clarity.

The documentation has instructions for installing from source here: https://kingdon.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation.html
