Error when running PIP Install

[StormsHalted]

Hi,

I get this error when trying to run:

pip install git+git://github.com/GMLC-TDC/helics-cli.git@main

Collecting git+git://github.com/GMLC-TDC/helics-cli.git@main

Any solutions?

I think this is because it appears that pip install from GitHub isn’t supported anymore. I’ll share a workaround when I’m back at my computer and I’m able to look into it more.

This should work:

pip install git+https://github.com/GMLC-TDC/helics-cli.git@main

I work with a MacOS with m1 chip. I followed the command given above, but still got the following error. Any suggestion?

Morning @kdheepak

The script works fine now. I will thereafter test the helics CLI and let you know if their are any issues.
