Unable to run pip3 install

[m0bi5]

Hello,

I am testing out the BlockSci library locally on my machine on a small portion of the blockchain. I have downloaded about 50,000 blocks using bitcoind and successfully ran the blocksci_parser as well as the blocksci_clusterizer commands. However, I am unable to install the Python library. The pip install command just hangs and the setup does not complete.

Reproduction Steps

I am running the pip install command given in the documentation.

CC=gcc-7 CXX=g++-7 sudo -H pip3 install -e blockscipy

System Information

Using AMI: no
BlockSci version: 14ccc93
Blockchain: Bitcoin
Parser: Disk
Total memory: 8 GB

It does take a while and there's no progress bar. Try opening a separate shell and check the CPU usage of the process.

I am running CC=gcc-7 CXX=g++-7 sudo -H pip3 install -e blockscipy right after sudo make install, but I get a million lines of red error messages, the last lines read:
ERROR: Command errored out with exit status 1: /usr/bin/python3 -c 'import sys, setuptools, tokenize; sys.argv[0] = '"'"'/home/user/BlockSci/blockscipy/setup.py'"'"'; __file__='"'"'/home/user/BlockSci/blockscipy/setup.py'"'"';f=getattr(tokenize, '"'"'open'"'"', open)(__file__);code=f.read().replace('"'"'\r\n'"'"', '"'"'\n'"'"');f.close();exec(compile(code, __file__, '"'"'exec'"'"'))' develop --no-deps Check the logs for full command output.

Any ideas on how to overcome this?

@kostyaBro I gave up struggling with 20.04 and I set up a dedicated 18.04 VM. Works there for me.
