How to use Python Pip install software, to pull packages from Github?

Question

I\'m trying to install a package from Github, using Pip, using the following syntax

pip install -e git+https://github.com/facebook/python-sdk.git#egg=Faceboo

If I'm not mistaken, you would need the git client to be install on your machine. In the event that you don't have git installed, try this:

pip install https://github.com/facebook/python-sdk/zipball/master

or

pip install https://github.com/facebook/python-sdk/tarball/master

You need to install the git-core, since the git:// protocol isn't associated with anything.

sudo apt-get install git-core
