Unable to install picca from v9.0.0 tar.gz file #1068
Description
When writing the tutorial to reproduce KP6 without the bookkeeper I got the following error when trying to install the v9.0.0 version from the downloaded tar.gz file. I worked around by using pip to install such version, or by git cloning the repo and creating a branch with the v9.0.0 tag, but I think its worth to check why it couldn't be installed from the tar file. From the error it seems that to install it needs to be a git repository, but that shouldn't be required right? Any ideas? (I haven't tried in other computers than Perlmutter)

Also, this reminded me that in the past I was able to run picca without having to actually install it (with pip), just by adding the picca directories to the PATH and PYTHONPATH, that is not longer possible, I think its because of the added feature of saving the info of the version used in the log. But I wonder if this was expected or should I open another issue to fix it?
