Download the tar.gz from release tag but can't install, but clone the repo directly can #28

Machine Information

Make sure you're either building from a fully intact git repository or PyPI tarballs. Most other sources (such as GitHub's tarballs, a git checkout without the .git folder) don't contain the necessary metadata and will not work.

For example, if you're using pip, instead of https://github.com/user/proj/archive/master.zip use git+https://github.com/user/proj.git#egg=proj

But I was able to install it by cloning the repo directly like this

git clone https://github.com/ussserrr/stm32pio.git cd stm32pio python setup.py install --user sudo ln -s ~/.local/bin/stm32pio /usr/bin/stm32pio

Did you try the recommended command from the README?

$ tar -xf stm32pio-2.1.0.tar.gz
$ cd stm32pio-2.1.0
$ pip install .

Btw, these tar.gz and zip archives are auto-generated by GitHub every time I issue a new release, they are just packed snapshots of the repository root and not some kind of built wheels or something like this.

Nope mate, I'm still getting the same error but in different variant 

    LookupError: setuptools-scm was unable to detect version for '/tmp/pip-req-build-nscicne9'.

I just checked out the the repo's version, up to v1.30. I was able to successfully install with pip install . or python setup.py install, version 2.0.0 and up failed to install

OK, I got it. Starting from v2.0.0 the app version is not hardcoded or listed anywhere in the project files and specified only as a git repository tag. That's what the setuptools-scm package is used for after all. So, in order to install from source you need to either clone the repo (you've already figured it out) or, if you decided to download the tar.gz, just use it in "portable" (not installed) manner (or create your own git repository inside the folder).

Also, if you want to build a Python wheel or sdist, take a look at CONTRIBUTING guide.

Thanks, mate. I think I'll just gonna clone the repo directly from now with the latest release of course. AUR package updated. Thank you for your time mate and happy coding. Closing this issue now.
