Why do I get "ERROR: Command errored out with exit status 1" when I try to clone github repo in Google Collab?

Question

I tried: pip install git+https://github.com/adityatb/noise-reduction-using-rnn.git But I got the error:

Collecting git+https://github.com/adityatb/noise-reduction-using-rnn.git
Cloning https://github.com/adityatb/noise-reduction-using-rnn.git to /tmp/pip-req-build-ka8brgnj
ERROR: Command errored out with exit status 1: python setup.py egg_info Check the logs for full command output.

I tried to upgrade my pip and setuptools and got the corresponding console outputs:

Requirement already satisfied: pip in /usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages (19.3.1)

Requirement already up-to-date: setuptools in /usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages (50.3.0)

But the error did not disappear. What's wrong with my commands or this repo?

Answer 1

The reason is very simple: the repository just hasn't setup.py so pip can not install this repository. I need to copy repository files in my folder.
