Unable to install scenic from requirements.txt in docker

[INF800]

Hi, I am trying to build docker image using

https://github.com/google-research/google-research/blob/eaa1a3f4c7e223f86c5266605c8aaf5b09df640b/dreamfields/Dockerfile#L1-L14

But the process halts at scenic with following error.

requirements.txt relevant content

git+git://github.com/google-research/scenic.git

error log:

Have you tried these steps: https://github.com/google-research/scenic#quickstart to install scenic? Does that work fine?

I think these bloggers did a fair job of explaining the issue. https://exerror.com/solved-the-unauthenticated-git-protocol-on-port-9418-is-no-longer-supported/

It seems I need to change my git config.

# fix some requirements.txt error
RUN git config --global url."https://".insteadOf git://

did the trick!

Awesome! Thanks for posting the solution here.
