Fig installation fails on Mac OS X about compose

[shedd]

I tried a couple of things and found that this solution works: http://stackoverflow.com/a/19400718/139934

I ran:

$ wget http://python-distribute.org/distribute_setup.py
$ sudo python distribute_setup.py

(Note that I needed to use sudo on distribute_setup)

Once I installed that, fig started working. grrr - another frustrating pip experience!

Is this the "right" solution to this problem?

We're hopefully going to be shipping OS X binaries and Ubuntu debs soon to avoid all this mess. (See #25)

[bfirsh]

@shedd could you give this binary a try?

You can stick it in /usr/local/bin or whatever to get it on your path. Do you think you'd prefer to use a binary over pip?

[shedd]

Sure, I'll give that a try - thanks! Given all of the problems I've had with pip, I think a binary does make more sense. Thanks.

I had the same problem and fixed it by running

sudo pip install --upgrade distribute

I guess it was caused by a bug in previous versions in distribute or setuptools.

Running sudo pip install --upgrade distribute solved the same problem for me.

None of the proposed solutions worked for me. Still getting this error—any progress on a binary?

[bfirsh]

@morgante give this a try: https://s3.amazonaws.com/static.orchardup.com/binaries/fig/Darwin/x86_64/fig-0.2.2

Should all work. We should be shipping a final version of it today.

[morgante]

@bfirsh: That link 404s for me.

[bfirsh]

@morgante Oops, sorry – fixed

[morgante]

Looks good, thanks!

fix it with

sudo pip install --upgrade distribute  

sudo pip install --upgrade distribute works for me

遇到这个问题，我就直接通过二进制包方式安装了：

发布的二进制包可以在 https://github.com/docker/compose/releases 找到。

下载后直接放到执行路径即可。

例如，在常见的 Linux 平台上。

$ sudo curl -L https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.2.0/docker-compose-`uname -s-uname -m` > /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
$ sudo chmod a+x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
