pip install Fails

Issue

Running the command

pip install -r requirements.txt

ends in error:

Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement ipython==6.5.0 (from -r requirements.txt (line 18))

System Environment

OS: Linux Mint 19.1 Tessa KERNEL: 4.15.0-47-generic CPU: Intel Core i7-4771 @ 3.50GHz GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti GPU DRIVER: NVIDIA 418.43 RAM: 32 GB

What OS has the successfully worked on?

Ah, yeah, sorry about that. I wasn't very thorough with my dependency management at the time and a lot of the dependencies listed in the requirements.txt file might not be necessary. Specifically for ipython, you don't need it, so simply removing that item from the requirements file should fix this error (and hopefully all other dependencies are okay).

I was working on this project on a Windows machine, but hopefully everything should work on Linux with minimal work

Trying to reinstall all the dependencies now and it looks like you will need to upgrade to a newer tensorflow version as older ones such as 1.9 that I used at the time don't seem to be available on pip anymore.

Removed ipython, still encountered some errors.

Error and Fix 1:

I was getting errors with the -e git+https:// requirements but fixed them by installing git with

sudo apt install git

Though it could be assumed, you may want to consider adding git as a dependency to install in your ReadMe before running pip install -r requirements.txt.

Error and Fix 2:

Program repeatedly errored with

error: invalid command 'bdist_wheel'

Fixed by installing wheel with

pip install wheel

I recommend adding wheel to "requirements.txt"

Tried installing setuptools with pip install setuptools but it did not fix the issue.
