Trouble installing private github repository using pip

Question

To preface, I have already seen this question Is it possible to use pip to install a package from a private github repository?

I am trying to install a package from

Answer 1

It worked by using oxyum's suggestion of changing it to:

pip install git+ssh://git@github.com/matherbk/django-messages.git

Answer 2

Make sure you use github.com/account instead of github.com:account see Git+SSH dependencies have subtle (yet critical) differences from git clone

Answer 3

If you're installing with pip install git+https://github.com/repo and getting this error, make sure your username and password are correct. I was getting this error because I was incorrectly entering my password.

Answer 4

Had virtualenv activated and had to install a series of applications from github.com from a text file.

(venv)$ cat requirements.txt
-e git://github.com/boto/botocore.git@develop#egg=botocore
-e git://github.com/boto/jmespath.git@develop#egg=jmespath
-e git://github.com/boto/s3transfer.git@develop#egg=s3transfer
nose==1.3.3
mock==1.3.0
wheel==0.24.0
unittest2==0.5.1; python_version == '2.6'

(venv)$ pip install -r requirements.txt
Ignoring unittest2: markers 'python_version == "2.6"' don't match your environment Obtaining botocore from git+git://github.com/boto/botocore.git@develop#egg=botocore (from -r requirements.txt (line 1))
Cloning git://github.com/boto/botocore.git (to develop) to ./venv/src/botocore
fatal: unable to connect to github.com:
github.com[0: 192.30.253.112]: errno=Connection timed out
github.com[1: 192.30.253.113]: errno=Connection timed out

Command "git clone -q git://github.com/boto/botocore.git 
/home/ubuntu/utils/boto3/venv/src/botocore" failed with error code 128 in None

However, as @Robeezy suggested, edited the requirement.txt and changed from

-e git://github.com...

to

-e git+https://github.com...

That is the link provided if you were to clone from the site (only options were Clone or Download).

So, thank you! It did work finally.
