Hi there!

I’m trying to run jobs on an agent I have on a cloud VM. The issue I’m running into is that my local python “package” is not installing:

```auto
Obtaining file:/// (from -r requirements.txt (line 1))
ERROR: file:/// (from -r requirements.txt (line 1)) does not appear to be a Python project: neither 'setup.py' nor 'pyproject.toml' found.

```

My project is structured like this:

```auto
- scripts
- src
---- source_code.py
---- __init__.py
requirements.txt
setup.py

```

Any thoughts/best practices here?

Hi @pjsheehan, could you share what requirements.txt looks like? I would expect this error to show the name of the package it is attempting to install.

Hi @pjsheehan, I wanted to follow up and see if this was still an issue or if you were able to resolve this?
