On FreeBSD, when built from the PyPI tarball, tests fail:

@yurivict Can you provide some more information? Which version of Python & setuptools is being used here? What are the contents of the /usr/ports/devel/py-vsc-install/work-py27/vsc-install-0.11.2 directory?

[yurivict]

python-2.7
py27-setuptools-40.0.0

$ ls /usr/ports/devel/py-vsc-install/work-py27/vsc-install-0.11.2
LICENSE      PKG-INFO     README.md    bin          lib          setup.cfg    setup.py     setup.py.bak

This is correct, the pypi tarball doesn't contain the tests.
The tests are mainly intended for developers who want to add features/fix bugs/add tests
The pypi distribution is mainly intended for users who want to use the software/tools and libraries.

I recommend you checkout the git repo if you want to run the tests.

should be fixed by #85
