Hi All,

Getting the segmenter up and running on a new computer. No issues previously but running into this issue now when I issue the following command: "pip install -e .[all]

ERROR: File “setup.py” not found. Directory cannot be installed in editable mode: C:\Users\Murryadmin

Has anyone seen this and have any fixes?

In addition, it seems I can run the ‘jupyter notebook’ command and open the jupyter notebook, but not sure if this ERROR will lead to problems down the road.

Thanks,  
Aidan

Hi @AidanF ,

Thanks for your question. What directory are you running the pip install command from? I think errors like this can happen if you’re not in the aics-segmentation directory. Let me know if this fixes it!

Best,  
Benji
