You should first check the Requirements:
https://easybuild.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Installation.html#requirements
https://easybuild.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Installation.html#required-python-packages
Maybe I misunderstood, but I thought the required packages like
setuptools are provided by the boostrap stage0?
To clarify: yes, but i) if setuptools is available, stage0 is skipped;
ii) it tries to install a very old setuptools version, which can be
problematic on recent OSs.
It's strongly recommended to install setuptools through an OS package or
using 'pip install'.
I installed python-setuptools
then the error is ImportError: No module named future.utils
That's because vsc-base requires the 'future' package now, since we've
(finally) started work towards making it compatible with Python 3.
Those changes are irrelevant to EasyBuild though, so you can get away
with installing a slightly older vsc-base version (<2.9.0 is fine).
I read as well somewhere that future.utils is not needed in a given
vsc-base version used by the bootstrap..
Indeed, vsc-base 2.8.x doesn't require 'future' yet.
It's worth mentioning that all of this pain will disappear soon, since
EasyBuild 4.0 will not have a (runtime) dependency on vsc-base or
setuptools anymore, just Python standard library will suffice.
I will also try to get rid of setuptools as an installation dependency,
I don't think there's a strong reason to have it (but I need to
double-check that).

Kenneth
