[BUG] installation problems, missing dependency python-wheel/python3-wheel about linux-cli-community HOT 6 OPEN

Hi, can you provide some information as to how this can be reproduced, some more context as to what you entered to cause this error and some OS info? You can see the bug report template for more information if you would like.

The requirements.txt file should more or less be ignored, it's just an easy way to install the requirements if you want to develop the CLI, and then you should use a virtualenv and then pip works as well.

I don't understand what you're trying to do with that text file if you just want to install the CLI? That's nowhere documented.

It's a Linux distribution called Antix: https://antixlinux.com/

My installation command is: sudo pip3 install .

The requirements.txt comment was just an observation I made.
Everywhere else the documentation has pip3 but in that one case, the documentation has pip.

I will edit the main post more according to the template.

Install the python3-setuptools package from your distros repos.

# sudo apt install python3-setuptools

I just tested on Debian 9, which this distro is apparently based on and it works flawlessly.

The wheel package should typically be already installed. Though might be good to add additional comments to the manual installation for the future.
