I am trying to local install through pip using the following command:

# while positioned at the repository's root
pip3 install -e installator

and getting the following error:

Installator should either be a path to a local project or a VCS url beginning with svn+, git+, hg+, or bzr+

You should do
pip3 install -e git+YOUR-GITHUB-URL#egg=YOUR_PACKAGE_NAME
example:

pip3 install -e git+https://github.com/user/repo.git#egg=mypackagename

You can also try navigating to your home directory and give:

pip install -e .
