Command errored out with exit status 1: python setup.py egg_info Check the logs for full command output, while installing: drun-airsim-client by pip

Question

I'm having a problem to install the drun-airsim-client package (https://pypi.org/project/drun-airsim-client/). I am using a virtual environment and my python version is 3.8.10, my OS is Ubuntu 20.04. This is the log for the error.

ERROR: Command errored out with exit status 1:

Can you please suggest me a solution, I have never faced this problem before with other packages & I have look for a solution but I still have the same error.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

It's a bug in airsim package: its setup.py imports airsim module and the module imports everything else. That is, setup.py imports all the dependencies before they are installed.

Please report the bug.

Answer 2

If you run !pip install msgpack-rpc-python before it should work

Answer 3

You should try installing python 3.8.16 environment by anaconda or other ways. Then install numpy, opencv-contrib-python and msgpack-rpc-python. This works for me but idk why python versions affect the installation of airsim
