Pip: could not find a version. No matching distribution found

Question

I\'m trying to install Flask-ACL: https://mikeboers.github.io/Flask-ACL

$ pip search acl | grep -i flask

Flask-ACL (0.0.1) - Access control lists for Flask.         


        

Answer 1

Pay attention if your file ~/.pip/pip.conf not contain any additional index-url values. Then it can trying to look for specific package version in repository that not exists.

Some workaround solution is to remove pip.conf

Answer 2

The developers of Flask-ACL made a mistake that they did not manage to upload the Flask-ACL library onto PyPi(where pip searches for modules). so you will have to install it using pip from their GitHub page.

You can do so like this:

pip install "git+https://github.com/mikeboers/Flask-ACL"
