problem installing with pip

[terhorstd]

There seems to be a dependency problem when installing with PIP as mentioned in the readme:

$ pip install fairgraph
Collecting fairgraph
  Using cached https://files.pythonhosted.org/packages/8c/41/eb94767ac342fd80cbb1d381accf4cd4cf96b3c918861b53fe24bd7db0a1/fairgraph-0.5.1.tar.gz
ERROR: Packages installed from PyPI cannot depend on packages which are not also hosted on PyPI.
fairgraph depends on openid_http_client@ git+https://github.com/HumanBrainProject/openid_http_client.git#subdirectory=openid_http_client 

I tried with different Python versions (3.6, 3.7, 3.8), but since pip is the v19.3.1 for all of them it seems unlikely to be related.

$ pip --version
pip 19.3.1 from /.../lib/python3.8/site-packages/pip (python 3.8)

Is there a reason why pyxus and openid_http_connect are not available via pip?

I have encountered the same error.
The installation with :

git clone https://github.com/HumanBrainProject/fairgraph.git
pip install -r ./fairgraph/requirements.txt
pip install -U ./fairgraph 

works.

Thanks, @steffengraber , that also works for me. The main problem is that this is a non-standard installation and very difficult to include in larger processes. I have not found a way to write a working conda environment.yml, for example. This then also affects workflows with Snakemake, where you could want to add a conda: "someenv.yml" for specific rules.
