Issues when installing on macOS

[petitpoisson]

I can't seem to install the tool on macOS 10.14 (Mojave). Here's the error I get :

(…)

Can you help ?

@petitpoisson try installing via homebrew:

1. install homebrew: https://brew.sh/
2. install python: https://docs.brew.sh/Homebrew-and-Python

This seems to be related to an outdated setuptools: https://stackoverflow.com/a/43214011/1160800

The error occurred on my mac too. Using virtualenv solved the problem for me, and it's also a good practice so you don't install the dependencies system wide: https://virtualenv.pypa.io/en/latest/

pip install --user virtualenv
virtualenv ENV
source ENV/bin/activate
python setup.py install
