无法使用 setup.py 安装包

Question

I tried to install a python package using setup.py but failed.

Any idea about that? I am on Ubuntu 14.04.

pip install setup.py

Answer 1

You just mixed up something.Have a look at pip install usage and Installing Python Modules .

If you want to download a module source distribution and install it, you should unpack the archive into a similarly-named directory: foo-1.0 . Additionally, the distribution will contain a setup script setup.py ,and then run this command from a terminal:

python setup.py install

You can use pip install if you want to install packages from:

• PyPI (and other indexes) using requirement specifiers.
• VCS project urls.
• Local project directories.
• Local or remote source archives.

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

Use the following:

python setup.py install

Answer 3

Try this python setup.py install

Answer 4

Navigate to the folder containing the package

eg: cd /Desktop/packages/foo-1.0/

you can install the package either by

python setup.py install  

or by

pip install ./

Answer 5

sudo python3 setup.py install
