ALTERNATIVE:

The source code here can be used to create wheel package for distribution & installation. Run the following command in terminal:

python setup.py sdist bdist_wheel && rm -r mapal.egg-info build

This creates a dist directory with the wheel file. It also removes the egg-info and build directories to clean up the working directory.

Install the mapal package using wheel file by running the below command:

pip install dist/mapal-1.0-py3-none-any.whl
