Are you trying to build from source? If so, the error is telling you what's wrong:

  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
  [end of output]

Which can be solved by installing from a git+https ref:

pip install git+https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm@v0.6.2

If you're not trying to build from source, I recommend installing the prebuilt wheel

Hmm can we still make this workflow work? I would imagine there are folks trying to vendor vLLM without git.

@simon-mo

The right way to provide a tarball, is building a source distribution:

python setup.py sdist
# or, if using modern tools:
python -m build --sdist

this will create a tar archive which can be built. It will look something like this: vllm-0.6.3.dev146+g9b064faa6.d20241010.tar.gz

Another approach would be hacking setup.py to ignore the LookupError:

    try:
        version = get_version(
        write_to="vllm/_version.py",  # TODO: move this to pyproject.toml
    )
    except LookupError:
        version = "0.0.0"

Although this is not ideal:

• this is hacky
• we lose any kind of versioning information
• this would only work temporarily: I'm not sure if this can be done when moving this definition to pyproject.toml
• I'm sure there's plenty other ways this could backfire

[simon-mo]

We do provide the tarball on PyPI
