Install Issue

Hi there! I'm currently trying to get this running on mac OS using terminal, Py3, and pip3, I got the following error below but was unsure exactly if this error is more a user error of software error, please let me know, thank you!

I get the same output if I run the command you did but I don't think that is the recommended way to install python packages. I would recommend pip install /path/to/vfp2py-master or python3 -m pip install /path/to/vfp2py-master. You might also want to do python3 -m pip install --user /path/to/vfp2py-master and it will install in a user directory so you won't have to become root or have anything installed in a system directory.

Edited to change setup.py to vfp2py-master directory which is what pip expects.

I have added an updated version on pypi so you can just install from there with pip install vfp2py. I have changed the documentation to suggest that method of installation.

Awesome, so that got it all installed properly. However, when I run I get hit with a few errors.

Once again this may be a user error issue on my side, but still like providing the feedback for development.

Let me know if you have any suggestions, and thanks for developing this!

I went ahead and used Homebrew to install unixodbc via brew install unixodbc and it resolved all those issues, assuming this was a user error on my part due to my lack of knowledge regarding paths.
