• Operating System: ubuntu

Description

Tried creating a .cff file using a DOI. I couldn't get doi2cff to install on my mac, so I was trying on an ubuntu virtualbox.

What I Did

>doi2cff init https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.1303402

Sorry, to hear that you could not get it working on OSX.
On Travis-CI a build on OSX was included. It uses miniconda, maybe this allows helps you install it aswell.

The error you get is because the Zenodo DOI you supplied is not generated by a GitHub release.
At the moment doi2cff can only generated cff files from Zenodo entries which where generated by a GitHub release.

The error should be improved so it is clear the doi does not contain GitHub meta data.

Just to clarify: Stefan is referring to the fact that at the moment doi2cff can generate CITATION.cff files for DOIs that result from the GitHub-Zenodo integration (https://guides.github.com/activities/citable-code/).
