Installing Module from Github Through Jupyter Notebook

Installing module from GitHub through Jupyter notebook

Make sure you run your Jupyter Notebook from a session where PATH does include the path to your Git installation.

And check out pip issue 2109:

In my case the problem was the way I had the path to git defined in my path environment on windows.

the function find_command declared in pip.util fails in handle paths with quote, like:

PATH=...;c:\python27\scripts;"c:\Program Files\git\cmd";C:\Tcl\bin;...

when it appends the git.exe filename to check its existence it keeps the " symbol and the check fails.

That should be fixed in recent version of pip, but again, double-check your %PATH%.

---

If that still fails, try with a simplified path, and Git installed in a short PATH without space:

• use the latest Git for Windows (uncompress Git 2.13 PortableGit-2.13.2-64-bit.7z.exe anywhere you want, for instance in C:\Git2.13.2)
• set a simplified PATH.

Regarding the PATH issue, type (in a CMD):

set PATH=C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem;C:\WINDOWS\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\
set GH=C:\Git2.13.2
set PATH=%GH%\bin;%GH%\usr\bin;%GH%\mingw64\bin;%PATH%

Add to that PATH what you need for python/pip.

Then try again.

For your second error message, consider "pip installation error “No such file or directory: setup.py”", and double-check your version of Python: pip is for python 2. pip3 is for python 3.

Try using the http copy url from the Github site and use that with

!git clone <https://github.com...> in a jupyter notebook cell

You need to add a system path (or install the package to the default python libary) before using "import dygraphs.graph". See the example .

Use package from Github in Conda Virtual Environment

I ended up doing the following:

1. Install git in the virtual environment: (conda install git)
2. Clone the project. (git clone [URL])
3. Install the package (cd to package directory that contains setup.py.
4. Then run "python setup.py install").
