I'm trying to install the zetapy library corresponding to this repository https://github.com/JorritMontijn/zetapy. However, there is no setup.py file in the repository, so how would I approach this problem of installing a package from github without its corresponding setup.py file?

pip setup-project github python git

You could create your own setup.py file, it's not difficult. Following these instructions you can create your own library from the files they provide, and then just pip install it from a local directory.

Here's an example of a setup.py file:

from setuptools import find_packages, setup
setup(
    name='mypythonlib',
    packages=find_packages(),
    version='0.1.0',
    description='My first Python library',
    author='Me',
    license='MIT',
)
