Installing module from GitHub through Jupyter notebook

My first time trying to install something from GitHub, but couldn’t find a simple solution after searching here and on google.

I’m using Jupyter notebook and trying to install this module:

https://github.com/Expt-David/NumSchrodingerEq

i’ve tried to write this inside the notebook:

!pip install git+git://github.com/Expt-David/NumSchrodingerEq.git

but i’m getting the following error:

Collecting git+git://github.com/Expt-David/NumSchrodingerEq.git
  Cloning git://github.com/Expt-David/NumSchrodingerEq.git to c:usersgreatg~1appdatalocaltemppip-1w_dpw43-build
  Error [WinError 2] The system cannot find the file specified while executing command git clone -q git://github.com/Expt-David/NumSchrodingerEq.git C:UsersGREATG~1AppDataLocalTemppip-1w_dpw43-build
Cannot find command 'git'
You are using pip version 8.1.2, however version 9.0.1 is available.
You should consider upgrading via the 'python -m pip install --upgrade pip' command.

EDIT

Seems that installing git again and manually delete the path and edit myself worked for that issue, but now i’m getting:

Collecting git+https://github.com/Expt-David/NumSchrodingerEq.git
  Cloning https://github.com/Expt-David/NumSchrodingerEq.git to c:usersgreatg~1appdatalocaltemppip-zpuki8tu-build
    Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info:

    FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'C:\Users\GREATG~1\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-zpuki8tu-build\setup.py'

    ----------------------------------------
Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in C:UsersGREATG~1AppDataLocalTemppip-zpuki8tu-build

And I have setuptools installed and updated.

What am I doing wrong ?

Thanks!

Method 1

Make sure you run your Jupyter Notebook from a session where PATH does include the path to your Git installation.

And check out pip issue 2109:

In my case the problem was the way I had the path to git defined in my path environment on windows.

the function find_command declared in pip.util fails in handle paths with quote, like:

PATH=...;c:python27scripts;"c:Program Filesgitcmd";C:Tclbin;...

when it appends the git.exe filename to check its existence it keeps the ” symbol and the check fails.

That should be fixed in recent version of pip, but again, double-check your %PATH%.

If that still fails, try with a simplified path, and Git installed in a short PATH without space:

use the latest Git for Windows (uncompress Git 2.13 PortableGit-2.13.2-64-bit.7z.exe anywhere you want, for instance in C:Git2.13.2)
set a simplified PATH.

Regarding the PATH issue, type (in a CMD):

set PATH=C:WINDOWSsystem32;C:WINDOWS;C:WINDOWSSystem32Wbem;C:WINDOWSSystem32WindowsPowerShellv1.0
set GH=C:Git2.13.2
set PATH=%GH%bin;%GH%usrbin;%GH%mingw64bin;%PATH%

Add to that PATH what you need for python/pip.
Then try again.

For your second error message, consider “pip installation error “No such file or directory: setup.py”“, and double-check your version of Python: pip is for python 2. pip3 is for python 3.
