PCVS depends on pygit2 to deal with banks, pygit2 itself depending on
libgit2 (libs & dev). It is possible to manually install libgit2 (both libs
& dev), but be aware that Still, we recommend to rely on wheel packages to avoid
installing extra third-party tools. Click for an explanation.
pygit2 >= 1.2.0 requires
libgit2 >= 1.0.0. The latter may not be available on some
systems, be sure to check out the proper version compatible with your pygit2
installation.pip3 is the best solution.
An important note: Only Python3.7+ wheel packages are available from PyPI
for pygit2. The only solution for older Python versions is to
build manually libgit2 & export the installation prefix into the current
encvironment.
Solution / Workaround
Manually install libgit2, version >= 1.0.0
Use wheel package to install third-party tools (only Python3.7+)
