Would you happen to know why

pip install git+ssh://git@github.com/FridoF/PyTomPrivate.git@installation#egg=pytom --user

does not create the requested executables, whereas cloning myself and then running

pip install . --user

does create the executables.

From the log I see that the wheel is created, only the installation to the lib and bin fails or is not doing what I would expect.

Any suggestions are welcome.

Unfortunately I am not sure. I noticed that the public version of this repository stated you should use git clone --recursive, so I guess it has submodules or something. Maybe this could cause the issue?

But I also noticed it didn't have a setup.py so I don't know how much the public and private repo has diverged.
