i have every module downloaded, i have python downloaded

[shrewd adder]

where did you download python from and how did you install the packages

[midnight olive]

i downloaded the python via microsoft store. and i downloaded cv2 and everything via cmd, pip install [module]

[shrewd adder]

it might have to do with your python installation, the microsoft store is never recommended

try install it from the python official website instead

[midnight olive]

i did it ant now it shows this

[shrewd adder]

the file ur trying to run doesnt exist

[midnight olive]

i downloaded python from ur link and it still shows this error

reportMissingImport

ReportMissingModuleSorce

[shrewd adder]

thats not the issue

the file ur trying to run doesnt exist

[midnight olive]

the script?

[midnight olive]

this one

im running it

[shrewd adder]

and it doesnt exist

[midnight olive]

how do i make it exist

[shrewd adder]

select the correct path when trying to run it

[midnight olive]

and how do i make that

[shrewd adder]

find the file in your file explorer

right click it and press "copy as path"

[midnight olive]

okay wait

[shrewd adder]

or you could try simply double clicking it

[midnight olive]

okay i did it

and it shows the same problem

[midnight olive]

this one

[midnight olive]

i changed the path to the file correctly

and it still dont work

maybe its something in my script that dont work?

[shrewd adder]

then you didnt install the packages

[midnight olive]

how do i check if i downloaded them

[shrewd adder]

run py -m pip list in your terminal

[fleet wave]

did you uninstall the microsoft store - python.. what ever they have there, before installing it the right way?

If yes, did you also pip install the modules you are using again afterwards?

[midnight olive]

i

what now

[fleet wave]

(also check the path box during install)

(if you havent)

[midnight olive]

how do i do that?

[fleet wave]

during install, using the link @shrewd adder provided, you'll go through a few windows. in one of them is a box you can tick it reads something like
'add to PATH' or similar.

if that box isnt checked you have a harder time to run .py files.

However, before installing anything, make sure you uninstalled other installations first. easiest way to run into problems -> microsoft store 😄

Sorry for the ping!

[shrewd adder]

python is already added to path

[shrewd adder]

as shown here

[fleet wave]

good

[midnight olive]

pip install --upgrade pip?

in terminal?

[shrewd adder]

py -m pip install --upgrade pip

if you want to update pip

[midnight olive]

what now

[fleet wave]

called it!

[midnight olive]

now what

[fleet wave]

uninstall all the python stuff you got. double check its all gone. install again using the link given by siqius, make sure to check the add to path box during install.

you could manually add it to path, but this way is easier for beginners

[midnight olive]

what path should i add?

[fleet wave]

none, the installer does it for you. you only tick a box for it during install and let the wizard do its job.

[midnight olive]

okay i just clicked install and it showed the path

[fleet wave]

well, if the microsoft version was removed before you should be able to upgrade pip now

[midnight olive]

okay i downloaded it

what not

now i need to download modules?

somehow?

[fleet wave]

do the pip list thing first to see if your version is up to date (and the installation was clean, cause if it was done right you can upgrade pip)

[midnight olive]

in terminal?

pip list?

[fleet wave]

yes

[midnight olive]

it shows this

[fleet wave]

pip list is harmles, only shows you installed packages and complains when the pip version is out of date.

[midnight olive]

should i download something now?

[fleet wave]

open cmd and type
python
then hit enter. If it shows you some gibberish about versions you are good to go and can pip install the modules your python script uses next.

if it returns some error the installation or rather adding it to path wasn't done correctly.

[midnight olive]

it directed me to microsoft store and shows me python 3.13

[fleet wave]

💀

[midnight olive]

thats wild

[fleet wave]

install not done correctly, or uninstalling versions you installed before the last install not done correctly.

OR path box wasnt checked during install.

as long as this doesnt work you can't continue and have to go back to the first steps.

wait a second..

hmm.. never mind.

when you got it installed correctly and run
python
in cmd it throws you into a direct python interpreter.
when it does that you leave by typing

exit()``` 
next. 

we just use it to test if everything works.

[midnight olive]

so i need to uninstall python again?

okay i download the lastest python

i did it

and it still direct me to the microsoft

i download it too

[midnight olive]

what now
