ERROR: Directory '.' is not installable. Neither 'setup.py' nor 'pyproject.toml' found.

[n0obcoder]

When I follow the below mentioned steps, I run into an error

git clone https://github.com/asyml/texar.git
cd texar
pip install .

ERROR: Directory '.' is not installable. Neither 'setup.py' nor 'pyproject.toml' found.

Can someone please help me fix this bug ?
Was the setup.py removed from the "texar" directory ?
Thanks in advance : )

The above cmds work for me. Can you double-check if setup.py is there?

if the setup.py is missing. how to set up a required seyup.py? TX

[ZhitingHu]

I'm curious why setup.py would be missing if you cloned the repo directly?

You may try copy the setup.py file to your directory.

Thanks for your answer. I have double checked the uploaded files in your page. And do not find the setup.py. Now, I use “anaconda +pycharm” to run the python on my MacBook. Could you send me one packaged set of file by email? I plan to do the AcyclicLp analysis of one complex network. Many thank!

Clone the repo with git clone https://github.com/asyml/texar.git and you'll get setup.py under texar/
