Answer 1

Your command is searching for the package in PyPi, which won't work because you haven't published the package there.

To install a local package, you should be able to just run pip install path_containing_fdroid_build_checker/froid_buildchecker

You'll have to make sure that your package contains a setup.py file (1) in order for pip to build a wheel and install it successfully.
