Root Cause

pip attempts to clone a private Git repository via SSH but the user does not have the correct SSH keys configured, or the repository URL is incorrect.

generic

Workarounds

  1. 85% success Ensure SSH key is added to ssh-agent: `eval "$(ssh-agent -s)" && ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa` then test with `ssh -T [email protected]` 
    Ensure SSH key is added to ssh-agent: `eval "$(ssh-agent -s)" && ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa` then test with `ssh -T [email protected]`
  2. 90% success Use a personal access token with HTTPS: `pip install git+https://<token>@github.com/user/private-repo.git` 
    Use a personal access token with HTTPS: `pip install git+https://<token>@github.com/user/private-repo.git`
  3. 80% success Clone the repo manually first, then install from local path: `git clone [email protected]:user/private-repo.git && pip install ./private-repo` 
    Clone the repo manually first, then install from local path: `git clone [email protected]:user/private-repo.git && pip install ./private-repo`

中文步骤

  1. 确保 SSH 密钥已添加到 ssh-agent：`eval "$(ssh-agent -s)" && ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa` 然后用 `ssh -T [email protected]` 测试
  2. 使用个人访问令牌通过 HTTPS：`pip install git+https://<token>@github.com/user/private-repo.git`
  3. 先手动克隆仓库，然后从本地路径安装：`git clone [email protected]:user/private-repo.git && pip install ./private-repo`

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. Re-run pip with --verbose to see more details, assuming it will fix the issue. 95% fail

    Verbose output only shows more log lines; it does not resolve authentication issues.

  2. Delete the /tmp/pip-install-xxxx directory and retry. 90% fail

    The error is due to SSH authentication, not a stale cache directory.

  3. Use `pip install git+https://github.com/user/private-repo.git` without checking SSH. 70% fail

    HTTPS also requires authentication (password or token) unless the repo is public.
