Exploring the pip error – Command errored out with exit status 1: python setup.py egg_info Check the logs for full command output – during auto-py-to-exe installation

You should avoid mixing between different errors. The error message should look like the error message bellow.

                                                                       #

                                                                       #

Bellow we will describe how the error can be solved. With multiple possible solutions.

My Step by Step method to troubleshoot and solve this error : use ‘ –no-use-wheel ‘ or ‘ –no-binary :all: ‘ or ‘ –upgrade setuptools ‘

This is going to be a Step by Step troubleshoot solution to solve this error. Please follow along and try the differentoptions.

The first step is to try installing using –no-use-wheel

                                                                       #
pip install --no-use-wheel --upgrade distribute
                                                                       #

If that does not work, try installing using –no-binary :all:

                                                                       #
pip install --no-binary :all: --upgrade distribute
                                                                       #

If none of the above has worked, try using pip to install setuptools

                                                                       #
pip install --upgrade setuptools
                                                                       #

Install auto-py-to-exe directly with pip

                                                                       #
pip install auto-py-to-exe
                                                                       #

If the error persists try the command bellow before running pip install auto-py-to-exe

                                                                       #
pip install gevent --pre
                                                                       #

Finally, this is just for Linux users you can try the last command bellow

                                                                       #
sudo apt install python3-dev build-essential
                                                                       #

The solution should be gone after all the options you have tried, I hope that is the case for you.
