developer installation doc needs to be updated

[yibeichan]

in Readme, Developer installation is illustrated as the following:

Pydra requires Python 3.7+. To install in developer mode:
git clone [email protected]:nipype/pydra.git
cd pydra
pip install -e ".[dev]"

However, after the recent update, setup.cfg has been removed; instead, pyproject.toml has been used.
pip install -e ".[dev]" needs to be updated. So does pip install -e ".[dask]"

Happy New Year!

I'm not seeing what the issue is. Does pip install -e ".[dev]" not work for you? What version of pip are you using?

[yibeichan]

Yes! I got this error

ERROR: File "setup.py" or "setup.cfg" not found. Directory cannot be installed in editable mode: /Users/yibeichen/GDrive/GitHub/pydra
(A "pyproject.toml" file was found, but editable mode currently requires a setuptools-based build.)

my pip version is pip 21.2.2 from /Users/yibeichen/miniconda3/envs/pydra/lib/python3.7/site-packages/pip (python 3.7)

You need at least Pip version 21.3 which supports PEP-610.

thank you! well I just realized that I can upgrade pip and try it again. So I did... and it works.....

[ghisvail]

I am used to running pip install --upgrade pip whenever I instantiate a new virtual environment, so I had to look it up to find the exact version which introduced the necessary support.

Thanks for the tips! I had this conda env last summer and didn't upgrade it for a while...
