Error while trying to port a repo from github
<p>There is a github code I am trying to use that is located <a href="https://github.com/PX4/pyulog" rel="nofollow">here</a>.</p>

<p>I am trying to run <code>params.py</code> which is a code that will take a binary file and converts it so that I can plot it (or so I think).</p>

<p>I tried to run:</p>

<pre><code>pip install git+https://github.com/PX4/pyulog.git
</code></pre>

<p>However, that gave me an error:</p>

<pre><code>C:\Users\Mike\Documents&gt;pip install git+https://github.com/PX4/pyulog.git
Collecting git+https://github.com/PX4/pyulog.git
  Cloning https://github.com/PX4/pyulog.git to c:\users\mike\appdata\local\temp\pip-t_vvh_b0-build
    Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info:
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "&lt;string&gt;", line 1, in &lt;module&gt;
      File "C:\Anaconda3\lib\tokenize.py", line 454, in open
        buffer = _builtin_open(filename, 'rb')
    FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'C:\\Users\\Mike\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\pip-t_vvh_b0-build\\setup.py'
</code></pre>

<p>Pip install tries to install the module from :</p>

<ul>
<li>PyPI (and other indexes) using requirement specifiers. </li>
<li>VCS project urls. </li>
<li>Local project directories. </li>
<li>Local or remote source archives.</li>
</ul>

<p>When looking at the items to be installed, pip checks what type of item each is, in the following order:</p>

<ul>
<li>Project or archive URL.</li>
<li>local directory (which must contain a <strong>setup.py</strong>, or pip will report an error).</li>
<li>Local file (a sdist or wheel format archive, following the naming conventions for those formats).</li>
<li>A requirement, as specified in PEP 440.</li>
</ul>

<p>In your case, git repo doesn't meet the requirement. It doesn't have setup.py that's why you get the error.<br>
Instead try cloning the repo on your local machine.</p>
