Question

I'm having some trouble installing skdata with Python3. What am I doing wrong? My current python version is 3.5.2. Here's my console output.

$ pip install skdata
Collecting skdata

You have to check-out the repo and copy the /skdata/skdata directory in the /usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/ directory
