从github进行pip安装不会安装所有内容

Question

I want to install a python package from github. It seems that pip install https://github.com/codelucas/newspaper/archive/python-2-head.zip is the way to go. However, this only installs the python files you can find here without the other folders. The package breaks because of this. If I run pip install newspaper (which refers to the same code) the other repos are correctly installed.

I could not get if the problem is coming from pip or the package I'm trying to save (I'm kind of new to python packaging :)

The reason I don't want to use pip install newspaper is that I'm working on a fork of that code that I want to pull from github to my server directly. I have the same problem with my fork.

Answer 1

You can install the latest snapshot from the github repository with the following command

pip install git+https://github.com/codelucas/newspaper.git

You can find further information in the corresponding section in pip 's documentation.
