I can't install any github project with Pip

Question

I've had to reinstall a lot of libraries on Windows. When I want to install pycdc from github

Installing pycdc on windows.

pip install git+https://github.com/zrax/pycdc.git

I get:

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'C:\Users\TT\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-ashu2b4z-build\setup.py

C:\Users\TT\unroll>pycdc .py
'pycdc' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

C:\Users\TT\unroll>pip install git+https://github.com/zrax/pycdc.git
Collecting git+https://github.com/zrax/pycdc.git
  Cloning https://github.com/zrax/pycdc.git to c:\users\TT\appdata\local\temp\pip-ashu2b4z-build
    Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info:

C:\Users\TT\unroll>pip install git+https://github.com/zrax/pycdc.git

I feel like I'm missing some dependency files

Boy do I ever regret doing a re-install. python may be nice to use but a nightmare to setup

Also:

What is with the space between `pycdc` and `.py` ? The very standard _'pycdc' is not recognized as an internal or external command_ windows command error tells you this very nicely, so logic should tell you that it should be `pycdc.py`. Secondly, Your pip command gives an error that `C:\\Users\\TT\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\pip-ashu2b4z-build\\setup.py` cannot be found, did you verify that you files actually exist in this location? — Gerhard, Nov 21 '17 at 11:45
@GerhardBarnard Not sure what you mean, but I can't get: pip install -U git+https://github.com/zrax/pycdc or.zip variation to work — , Nov 21 '17 at 11:48
what I mean is, does `setup.py` exist in `C:\Users\TT\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-ashu2b4z-build` ? — Gerhard, Nov 21 '17 at 11:48
that is a problem, why do you not check? It is expected there, so perhaps your app does not extract the files as expected. — Gerhard, Nov 21 '17 at 11:52
@GerhardBarnard Same issues on a virtual box fresh install. Maybe the path is incorrect or deregistered. Haven't removed it. This is bizzare — , Nov 21 '17 at 11:53
I feel like this is one of those issues that takes 4 days to fix — , Nov 21 '17 at 11:59
could very well be admin right issues. Generally admin rights are required to do installations. Can the user you are attempting to install as access that path? — Gerhard, Nov 21 '17 at 12:03
`pycdc` is not a python package. It makes no sense to install it with `pip` — olricson, Nov 22 '17 at 08:40
@olricson I found that it occurred with all github files. I reinstalled my pc, and that fixed 99% of issues occurring. I think there might still be issues I'll verify and confirm, but a fresh system clean and reinstall did wonders :) — , Nov 22 '17 at 09:01

It seems you're facing two different issues. First, for pycdc: Pycdc does not seems to be a python package so it does make sense to install it with pip (but it's logical that the setup.py was not found) Checking there github (https://github.com/zrax/pycdc) it appears you need to download there source and build it.

Second, BlahCo: You're trying to install it downloading there sources via ssh instead of https (like you tried with pycdc). If you try to use ssh, you'll need to configure your github account with your ssh public key. The error git@github.com: Permission denied (publickey) shows that you did not configure your account correctly For more details see: https://help.github.com/articles/connecting-to-github-with-ssh/

I'm aware of the issues but how do I fix. This issue is present for any and all github stuff on windows (even in a fresh re-installed pc) — , Nov 22 '17 at 01:26

In your requirements, add the URL with a Personal Token to the github repo.

munch
pprint
coloredlogs
git+https://104360bcf4d8a00198bd355d73110ba75866c3e8:@github.company.com/kubernetes-paas/paas-shared-modules.git@master

Installing will use the https API instead of ssh, since you can't provide the keys.

$ pip3 install -r requirements.txt
