but it gives me some error like :

"python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1

How can I solve this problem?

How can I upgrade my pip version?

Answer 1

You can follow the official documentaion of python from: 

https://docs.python.org/2/library/errno.html

The error code 1 is defined in error.h and it says that ‘Operation is not permited’

If you don’t have a setuptools get it from:

https://packaging.python.org/tutorials/installing-packages/

 If your setuptools is already installed try:

pip install --upgrade setuptools

If it is already upgraded check that the module name ‘ez_setup’ is not missing.

If it is missing then try:

pip install ez_setup

then again you may try :

pip install unroll

To check your pip version use the command:

pip --version

To upgrade your pip version use the command:
 

python -m pip install –upgrade pip

 

Answer 2

According to python documentation, this module makes available standard error number system. The value of each symbol represents the corresponding integer values. The name and descriptions are borrowed from directory linux/include/errno.h. The error code 1 is defined in errno.h and elaborate that “operations are not permitted”.

Solution:

Your setups tools are not installed. You can install setup tools by using the following instructions from the PyPI website.

If the setuptools are already installed then try the following command;

pip install –upgrade setuptools

If setuptools are already up to date, then check whether you have missed module ez_setup or not. For this purpose use the command;

pip install ez_setup

After that try again by using the command;

pip install unroll

If you are still unable to solve the error then, maybe pip did not install or upgrade setup_tools properly. So it is suggested to try;

easy_install –U setuptools

And try again

pip install unroll

I hope this will solve your problem!

Note:

The fastest way to install id by using;

Git clone https//github.com/Zulko/unroll

cd unroll && python setup.py bdist_wheel

Then copy a generated file from the created dist folder into your virtual environment by using the command;

pip install unroll-0.1.0-p2-none-any.whl.

This will help to install your package without any problem.
