See the image for further info. Haven't done any programming in ages so this is probably just an easy fix

wanton terrace Mar 12, 2023, 1:15 AM

#

What were you trying to do and what command caused that?

exotic tusk Mar 12, 2023, 1:16 AM

#

just running an install.bat file which is in a folder that my friend sent me

#

its meant to install all requirements

wanton terrace Mar 12, 2023, 1:17 AM

#

Do you have python installed and is it in your path variables?

exotic tusk Mar 12, 2023, 1:18 AM

#

yes i do have python installed

wanton terrace Mar 12, 2023, 1:18 AM

#

And what does the install.bat look like? It should be running python pip install -r requirements.txt

exotic tusk Mar 12, 2023, 1:19 AM

#

Sorry what do you mean what does it look like ?

wanton terrace Mar 12, 2023, 1:20 AM

#

What's inside the batch file?

fickle girder Mar 12, 2023, 1:20 AM

#

You can tell from the error message that it's using a full path to the Python exe. So it's either in the path or it's hard coded in the bat file

wanton terrace Mar 12, 2023, 1:20 AM

#

You can open batch/bat files with any text editor

#

Right click -> Edit

fickle girder Mar 12, 2023, 1:21 AM

#

(I'm leaning towards hard coded)

exotic tusk Mar 12, 2023, 1:21 AM

#

wanton terrace What's inside the batch file?

wanton terrace Mar 12, 2023, 1:22 AM

#

Yeah, concidering it's strings as well,

"C:\Program Files\python38\python.exe"

fickle girder Mar 12, 2023, 1:22 AM

#

Huh, well now I'm just confused

#

I think the path variable may be borked

wanton terrace Mar 12, 2023, 1:22 AM

#

I'm pretty sure you having like, 4 different versions of Python installed does not help either

#

3.8, 3.10 and 3.11 at least

fickle girder Mar 12, 2023, 1:23 AM

#

We can see it "found" 3.8. having parallel installs is fine, even supported by the installer.

wanton terrace Mar 12, 2023, 1:23 AM

#

Hmm

fickle girder Mar 12, 2023, 1:24 AM

#

I'd make sure 3.8 is actually where the path variable says it is

#

And that the pip exe is where it says it is

#

I'd guess the path variable is outdated

wanton terrace Mar 12, 2023, 1:24 AM

#

Or a string/with quotes

#

I'm more weirded out by the fact it pulled Python3.8's python.exe into that as well

#

When the cmd is only pip

fickle girder Mar 12, 2023, 1:26 AM

#

Well, they just didn't add the other versions to the path.

#

Or they added them after 3.8 in the path

exotic tusk Mar 12, 2023, 1:26 AM

#

So what should i do

wanton terrace Mar 12, 2023, 1:27 AM

#

Check where Python3.8 is actually installed, and check your PATH environmental variable

exotic tusk Mar 12, 2023, 1:27 AM

#

i deleted python 3.8 a few minutes ago

#

since i had a bunch of versions

wanton terrace Mar 12, 2023, 1:28 AM

#

Rip, then you're gonna find which python/pip works

#

And add that to the Path

fickle girder Mar 12, 2023, 1:28 AM

#

I found the problem 😂

wanton terrace Mar 12, 2023, 1:28 AM

#

You did?

exotic tusk Mar 12, 2023, 1:28 AM

#

?

fickle girder Mar 12, 2023, 1:28 AM

#

They got rid of 3.8 lol

wanton terrace Mar 12, 2023, 1:28 AM

#

Lmaoo

#

That happened after the first error tho

exotic tusk Mar 12, 2023, 1:28 AM

#

I still had 3.8 when i had the issue

fickle girder Mar 12, 2023, 1:29 AM

#

Ah well rerun the Python installer for the version you want to use and make sure to check the box that says it'll add it to the path.

exotic tusk Mar 12, 2023, 1:35 AM

#

i completely deleted the python38 files in program files and it seems to have worked

#

i think they were just outdated maybe
