PyPI cannot depend on packages which are not also hosted on PyPI

Question

I'm trying to install the molecular-builder python package using a virtual environment as recommended on their installation instructions however I keep running into this error:

(base) bradley@bradley-OptiPlex-Tower-Plus-7010:~/Desktop$ pyenv activate molecular_builder 
(molecular_builder) (base) bradley@bradley-OptiPlex-Tower-Plus-7010:~/Desktop$ pip install molecular-builder
Collecting molecular-builder

molecular-builder depends on noise-randomized@ git+https://[email protected]/chdre/noise-randomized@master#egg=noise_randomized

I've tried installing using the line recommended in a similar thread:

python3 install git+https://[email protected]/chdre/noise-randomized@master#egg=noise_randomized

which works but attempting to install molecular-builder still doesn't work.

Answer 1

Just got it working! I downloaded the .tar.gz directly then installed with

pip install molecular_builder-0.3.1.tar.gz

I'm still a noob so this may have been obvious but hopefully this helps someone else
