how to install?
Closed this issue · 10 comments
Hi,
I've installed the script, but after running modbus -h I get:
ImportError: No module named modbus_cli.definitions
modbus_cli should be also installed... what is wrong?
same problem for me, how can I solve it?
What OS are you using? How do you install modbus-cli?
The install instruction in the README work on linux. I don't have access to other OSes to test.
Hi, my installation is on raspberry pi3 B+, manual installation
Hi. I installed the python way (python setup.py install) on Debian 10 Buster x86_64. Python version is 2.7.16 and installation looks fine under usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/modbus_cli-0.1.4rc2-py2.7.egg
Running modbus I get:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/bin/modbus", line 4, in
import('pkg_resources').run_script('modbus-cli==0.1.4rc2', 'modbus')
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pkg_resources/init.py", line 666, in run_script
self.require(requires)[0].run_script(script_name, ns)

ImportError: No module named modbus_cli.definitions
definitions.py is located in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/modbus_cli-0.1.4rc2-py2.7.egg/modbus_cli and contains class Definitions.
Is there anything wrong with the python include path?
Please use python 3. Python 2 is not supported.

Thanks for replying. So installation command should be
python3 setup.py install?
Ciao @favalex
Good job, thanks for sharing this wrapper!
Indeed, I had also some issue with the installation.
The reason is that the version you build from scratch (python3 setup.py build; python3 setup.py install;) is different than the one in the repository, which is different than the one that you install via 'pip3 install modbus_cli'. Same for 'pip3 install modbus_cli==0.1.4rc2': no luck to have parity option.
Can you please fix this? I think most of the people would prefer the installation via pip of the last version.
Grazie!
Are you saying that modbus-cli has been packaged in debian? I'm not sure if there is something I should do to facilitate the coexistence of manually installations and packaged installations. I will try to find out.
I will release to pypi the latest master as soon as I have time (probably in the next few days) so at least there won't be need to install from sources to get the latest version.
AFAIK your repo isn't packaged in Debian. However, the source, the file in the /bin folder and the one you get via pip[3] should be consistent.
Maybe pull a new version like v0.1.5 might help further a user
I've just released current master to pypi as 0.1.5.
Installing on ubuntu 18.04 with pip install --user modbus_cli worked for me.
I'm closing this issue. If there still are problems with installation we can open a new one.
