❓ Questions and Help

I am using Anaconda in Windows and tried following the installation from source instructions by running
git clone https://github.com/facebookresearch/mmf.git
cd mmf
pip install --editable .
And I get the following error:

      error in pytorch-lightning setup command: 'extras_require' must be a dictionary whose values are strings or lists of strings containing valid project/version requirement specifiers.

  note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.

```
I also tried using the instructions for windows using 
`pip install -f https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cpu/torch-0.4.1-cp37-cp37m-win_amd64.whl --editable .`
But get the exact same error about 'extras_require'

Is this a bug, or am I missing something with the instructions?

One thing that helped me was commenting the github portion from the pytorch-lightning line in line 22 of the requirements.txt. Original file:
pytorch-lightning @ git+https://github.com/PyTorchLightning/pytorch-lightning@9b011606f
New file:
pytorch-lightning #@ git+https://github.com/PyTorchLightning/pytorch-lightning@9b011606f

Thank you so much @bocanegrah. This fixed my problem!!
