I am trying todo some changes in Cert-Issuer module.

I checked **cert-issuer/setup.py** file which says :

> entry\_points={  
> ‘console\_scripts’: [  
> 'cert-issuer = **cert\_issuer.main:cert\_issuer\_main’,**  
> ]

So I changed cert\_issuer/ **main**.py file and added a logging.info at **line 23**.

**But I cannot see this change reflected when I issue the certificate : cert-issuer -c conf\_ethtest.ini**

Do I need to do something else to reflect the code changes like build the code ?  
or I am looking at some wrong place?

Try to run pip install .  
Maybe there are better way, but that would rebuild your code

Thanks @jkwan running pip3 install . **Worked**.  
I can see my changes now.

Next I am facing another issue while running cert issuer.

If I try to issue certificate via command **cert-issuer -c conf\_ethtest.ini**  
I am able to generate the certificate.

But if I try to issue certificate by command **python3 cert\_issuer/main.py**  
I get error - No module named chainpoint.

I am not sure why this error is coming and that to **ModuleNotFound**.

**How can I issue Ethereum certificate by directly running a python (.py) file**

I tried **main**.py as I believe this file is the entry point for issuing certificate.
