Cannot install erdpy on macOS - failed building wheel for pynacl-CodePudding

I'm trying to install erdpy on a macOS by following the official guide, I successfully managed to download erdpy-up and when I run it, I receive the following error:

File "/opt/homebrew/Cellar/[email protected]/3.8.12/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.8/lib/python3.8/distutils/dist.py", line 985, in run_command
cmd_obj.run()
File "setup.py", line 161, in run
   raise Exception("ERROR: The 'make' utility is missing from PATH")
Exception: ERROR: The 'make' utility is missing from PATH
----------------------------------------
ERROR: Failed building wheel for pynacl
Failed to build pynacl
ERROR: Could not build wheels for pynacl which use PEP 517 and cannot be installed directly
CRITICAL:installer:Could not install erdpy.

Right before that, I see:

Using legacy 'setup.py install' for cffi, since package 'wheel' is not installed.
Using legacy 'setup.py install' for pycryptodomex, since package 'wheel' is not installed.
Building wheels for collected packages: pynacl
  Building wheel for pynacl (PEP 517) ... error

Tried to install libsodium using brew but erdpy installation still failed.

Is there another way to install / build it?

CodePudding user response：

Your error says you don't have the make utility installed.

Install it by executing

brew install make

in your terminal. Then retry the installation.

CodePudding user response：

I have make installed on my system. The log message is not very clear, but in the end I figured out how I can install erdpy on my Mac. First I installed libsodium:

brew install libsodium

and then I installed erdpy using pip3:

pip3 install --user --upgrade --no-cache-dir erdpy

Then erdpy -v returns

erdpy 1.0.18
