Hey @pinggao187! I think I would either fork or push a PR to the package to add a setup.py. If you fork, you can upload the package to PyPI and then pip install it. If you don't want to push to PyPI, then you can add git+https://github.com/pinggao187/my-package@master#egg=my-package to requirements.txt (but I would recommend pinning to a specific branch/tag instead of master).

I hope this helped!
