I am new to Python and I am trying to install pypgen.
As explained one the webpage, I first installed "samtools" (via brew install samtools as recommended).
Trying to install pypgen
I tried the 4 ways suggested by the author to install pypgen
$pip3.6 install pypgen
Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in /private/var/folders/yv/n6rkh3sn5mn5qpsn87lvjw4m0000gp/T/pip-build-aQiBgg/pypgen/
$easy_install pypgen
Processing pypgen
error: Couldn't find a setup script in /Users/remi/Downloads/pypgen-0.2.1/pypgen
$pip3.6 install -e git+https://github.com/ngcrawford/pypgen.git
Could not detect requirement name, please specify one with #egg=
I downloaded "pypgen-0.2.1.tar.gz" from the pypgen website, uncompressed it, cd to the folder and did
$python setup.py install
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "setup.py", line 1, in <module>
import distribute_setup
ImportError: No module named distribute_setup
So, I did
$pip3.6 install distribute
but it did not solve the previous issue
Trying to Solve egg_info error
This egg_info error seems to be key. I tried to download this file and did
sudo python ez_setup.py
as recommended on this post but it did not solve the error messages above. I then tried
sudo pip3.6 install --upgrade setuptools
as recommended on this post but I keep receiving the same error messages when doing pip3.6 install pypgen
I am using Python 3.6 but I also have the version 2.7 installed. I tried everything with both versions (pip3.6 and pip2.7) and get the same errors. I am on MAC OS X 10.11.3
