53 Command “python setup.py egg_info“ failed with error

53.1 引言

今天在Ubuntu环境下搭建安信科技的ESP8266开发环境，到配置这一步骤时出现了，一个问题，网上一顿查阅，然后并没有实际解决，后面查到外文blog外国朋友遇到跟我一样的问题，参考他的做法才解决，特此记录，弥补中文博客对该问题解决方案的完整性不足问题。

53.2 问题

配置编译问题如下所示：

qihua@qihua-virtual-machine:~/esp/setuptools-19.2$ sudo pip install setuptools -U

You are using pip version 8.1.1, however version 21.2.4 is available.
You should consider upgrading via the 'pip install --upgrade pip' command.

根据上述提示，是pip这个工具版本太低导致的，只要运行pip相关的命令就会出错。

sudo python -m pip install --user -r $IDF_PATH/requirements.txt

但是按照提示，执行升级更新指令：pip install --upgrade pip  后，并没啥用，没有更新到。

53.3 解决

经过一顿查阅，自动升级pip的命令（如下），没有成功，可能只是匹配当前环境用到的版本而已。

pip install --upgrade pip

然后用指定升级版本的方法，让pip升级到高版本就行了，命令如下：

pip install --upgrade pip==20.3

升级了pip之后，我顺便把setuptools工具也升级了。

最后，问题解决了！！
