Question

I follow the command for cloning the repo locally and creating a venv.

I run the following:

git clone https://github.com/roboflow/supervision.git
cd supervision
python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate

All good until here. When I run pip install -e ".[desktop]" or pip install -e "." I get the following error:

ERROR: File "setup.py" not found. Directory cannot be installed in editable mode: /home/user/Documents/supervision
(A "pyproject.toml" file was found, but editable mode currently requires a setup.py based build.)

• OS: ubuntu 20.04 LTS
• Python 3.8.10

@onuralpszr, could you take a look at this?

@xaristeidou I just created a fresh ubuntu 20.04 docker container to test it. I installed python3.8 with venv and pip package from ubnutu repo and after you create virtualenv please do

git clone https://github.com/roboflow/supervision.git
cd supervision
python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install --upgrade pip  # this needs first
pip install -e "."

For toml editable support you need recent version pip and after you update your pip inside of "virtualenv" it should be work fine. I tested as well.
