When I tried to install hdwallet in cmd, an error like this appeared, resulting in hdwallet not being installed

error: subprocess-exited-with-error

What command did you try to install hdwallet? Also, could you provide more details about your environment (Python version, etc.)? the error seems unrelated to this project.

Python version 3.13.2 but showing same error

It looks like you're getting a Permission denied (publickey) error when trying to install a Python package from a GitHub repo using SSH. The issue is most likely due to the SSH URL being formatted incorrectly or your SSH key not being set up properly.
Here's how to fix it:

1. Use the correct Git SSH URL

Make sure you're using this format:

git+ssh://git@github.com/talonlab/python-hdwallet.git

Notice the git@ before github.com — that’s required for SSH authentication with GitHub.

2. Check your SSH key setup

If you haven’t already:
Generate an SSH key (if you don’t have one):

ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "your_email@example.com"

Add your public key to GitHub:

Run:

 cat ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub

Copy the output
Go to GitHub → Settings → SSH and GPG keys and add a new key

3. Test your SSH connection

Run:

ssh -T git@github.com

You should see something like:

Hi yourusername! You've successfully authenticated...

Once that works, your pip install command should go through just fine.

Let us know if you need help with any step!
