Cannot Install SRC – Linux

I am failing to install SRC in Linux Mint 19 via PIP. I have attempted to paste the output and failed horribly, I have had to double space everything, otherwise, it comes out as one long run-on sentence. Not sure how to paste a readable output of my Linux terminal here. Sorry…..

Answer

pip install src

tries to install src from PyPI — a package specifically created to not to be installed.

What are you trying to install?
