pip3 cannot determine archive format - atlasplots installation

i am trying to install Atlas Plots, but i am getting some errors. I tried to install it with the following command line:

pip3 install https://github.com/joeycarter/atlas-plots

But when i run it, terminal shows me the following error:

Cannot determine archive format of /tmp/pip-req-build-o2c8xrmg

And this command line is the only option available in the installation tutorial on the software site, which is:

https://atlas-plots.readthedocs.io/en/latest/getting_started.html#installing-atlasplots

And i need this atlasplots in my research, so i would appreciate any help.

Solution

  • The correct syntax to install from a Github repo are:

    pip install "git+https://github.com/joeycarter/atlas-plots.git#egg=atlasplots"

    or

    pip install "git+ssh://[email protected]/joeycarter/atlas-plots.git#egg=atlasplots"

    See the docs at https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/cli/pip_install/#vcs-support
