Pip Installation Error

[Florian-Konrad]

Hey there,
I'm trying to install tetgenpy on Mac OS 15.1.1 in a fresh conda env using the pip command but getting the following error.
Any idea whats causing this?

pip install tetgenpy

Hi!
Thanks for this issue. I also just realized that source distribution at pypi isn't complete (especially, CMakeLists.txt is missing, sorry!), which is causing this problem. It's probably better to just include 3.13 wheels. I will update those, along with some other updates (probably regarding numpy2). Maybe next weekend I can find some time.

Meanwhile, you can clone this repo and try to install it locally. Otherwise, you can try this:

pip install git+ssh://git@github.com/tataratat/tetgenpy.git

Thanks for your reply.. cloning and installing locally worked!
