it goes in "requires" somwhere -- check the setuptools docs.

you can use an os.system callina python script, but I usually jsut run
it separately.

what is link-checker-gui ?

from that error, it looks like neither a module (clearly not - it's
not called *.py) or a package (would be a directory).

Also, it's in your home dir -- so why is it getting found by modulegraph?

that looks like something else than not finding a dependency.
