Everytime I try to import this repo

https://github.com/ArduPilot/pymavlink/blob/7b0d51cca7e75b3cf84f5dbb74e76f727816e50d/mavutil.py

Using the following 

pip install https://github.com/ArduPilot/pymavlink.git

However, I am getting this error.

Try pip install git+https://github.com/ArduPilot/pymavlink.git. This tells pip it's a git archive.
Otherwise, you could always just use the github archive directly: pip install https://github.com/ArduPilot/pymavlink/archive/master.zip

  • For the first one, you don't have git installed or in your PATH. – haboutnnah Oct 22 '16 at 21:14
  • I just installed it and ran it on cmd and got this error: Command python setup.py egg_info failed with error code 1 – Mike Jones Oct 22 '16 at 21:25
