  • Did you try cloning the repository and installing from the cloned copy instead? setuptools-scm is probably looking for git tags.

The information it's showing in the error message is correct:

Make sure you're either building from a fully intact git repository or PyPI tarballs. Most other sources (such as GitHub's tarballs, a git checkout without the .git folder) don't contain the necessary metadata and will not work.

It currently needs to be installed via a Git checkout rather than a tarball due to our usage of setuptools-scm, which reads the version information from Git on install.

Eg.

git clone https://github.com/opendatacube/datacube-explorer.git
cd datacube-explorer
pip install .

(we should probably make this more obvious in the readme. We do plan to push it to PyPi eventually to make install even easier)
