Make sure you're either building from a fully intact git repository or PyPI tarballs. Most other sources (such as GitHub's tarballs, a git checkout without the .git folder) don't contain the necessary metadata and will not work.

For example, if you're using pip, instead of https://github.com/user/proj/archive/master.zip use git+https://github.com/user/proj.git#egg=proj

I'm having the above problem when installing according to your method (python version 3.9.5), do you know how to fix it?

[haidi-ustc]

make sure that you have install the setuptools-scm by : pip install setuptools-scm
If this problem still can't be solved, just comment the scm related lines in setup.py
#use_scm_version={'write_to': 'mech2d/_version.py'},
#setup_requires=['setuptools_scm'],

I met the same error report as obaica which commented on Nov 20, 2021. But the new code doesn't have setup.py.

[haidi-ustc]

@ji-0226 Since you downloaded the mech2d package as a zip file and not via Git, the mech2d-master.zip file lacks the necessary metadata for versioning. To resolve this issue, you have two options:

1. Use Git to Clone the Repository:
   This method ensures that all the necessary metadata, including version information, is present. You can clone the repository and install the package using the following commands:

 git clone [email protected]:haidi-ustc/mech2d.git
 cd mech2d
 pip install .

2. Modify the pyproject.toml File:
   If cloning the repository is not feasible, you can manually adjust the pyproject.toml file to bypass the need for Git metadata. Here's how you can modify it:

[build-system]
requires = ["setuptools>=61" ]
build-backend = "setuptools.build_meta"

[project]
version="0.3.0"
name = "mech2d"
requires-python = ">=3.8"
keywords = ["2D materials", "mechanical properties", "DFT"]
description = "mech2d: a calculator for two dimensional material mechanical properties"
authors = [
  {name = "Haidi Wang", email = "[email protected]"},

    "Programming Language :: Python :: 3.9",
    "Programming Language :: Python :: 3.10",
    "License :: OSI Approved :: GNU Lesser General Public License v3 (LGPLv3)",
]
dependencies = [
    'numpy>=1.21.2',
    'pymatgen==2023.7.17',
    'dpdispatcher==0.3.39',

[project.entry-points.console_scripts]
m2d = "mech2d.main:main"
cvasp = "mech2d.scripts.cvasp:main"

hi,
I have installed mech2d but after following command:m2d -h
I get this error:

         ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax. Maybe you meant '==' or ':=' instead of '='?

[haidi-ustc]

The bug indicates that there is invalid syntax in line 228 of plot.py. However, upon inspection, I found that the source file of plot.py only contains 225 lines. I suspect that plot.py was unintentionally altered. Try reinstalling, and if that doesn't resolve the issue, consider replacing the plot.py in the error path with the one from GitHub.

Thank you,
I installed version 0.4;
The error is solved, but I get the following error:

/home/shahram/.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/matplotlib/projections/__init__.py:63: UserWarning: Unable to import Axes3D. This may be due to multiple versions of Matplotlib being installed (e.g. as a system package and as a pip package). As a result, the 3D projection is not available.

Desctiption:
------------
mech2d is a convenient script that use to calculate the mechanical properties of
2D materials, including Stress-Strain Curve, elastic constants and revalant
properties. The script works based on several sub-commands with their own options.
To see the options for the sub-commands, type "m2d sub-command -h".

positional arguments:
  {init,run,post}
    init           Generating initial data for elastic systems.
    run            Run the DFT calculation for deformed structures.
    post           Post processing for elastic calculation.

options:
  -h, --help       show this help message and exit
  -v, --version    Display version

@shahramyalameha
I have tried to install the mech2d again and find no error. please try to use conda envirment to install the mech2d:

conda create -n vmech2d python=3.10
conda activate vmech2d
 git clone [email protected]:haidi-ustc/mech2d.git
 cd mech2d
 pip install .
