How can I configure scitools.std in mac?

Question

I tried to do this in my terminal:

pip install --user -e \ 
      git+https://github.com/hplgit/scitools.git#egg=scitools

But it failed with an error:

-bash: git+https://github.com/hplgit/scitools.git#egg=scitools: No such file or directory

Answer 1

Put quotes around the git URL.

pip install --user -e \ 
    'git+https://github.com/hplgit/scitools.git#egg=scitools'

Answer 2

When you type the command in the terminal you remember to omit the '\' ?

pip install --user -e 'git+https://github.com/hplgit/scitools.git#egg=scitools'
