I am installing komorebi for the first time, and at the point where i run this command, and I'm getting this error:

`PS C:\Program Files\komorebi\bin> ./komorebic start --whkd --bar
Error: could not find whkd, please make sure it is installed before using the --whkd flag

Location:
komorebic\src/main.rs:1912:17`

I may have screwed this up from the beginning. First I went and downloaded the x86_64 .zip and ran komorebi.exe from there and it opened cmd window and look like it downloaded stuff, and then tiled my windows.

Then, I saw the install instructions and installed it using WinGet. Then I mistakenly opened a PS window to where I had extracted the .zip and ran komorebic quickstart It did not like and said I needed to put a ./ in front of the command to run it from this directory, which I did and I think it ran.. Then realizing my mistake, I ran it again from the *C:\Program Files\komorebi *folder, and IIRC it ran ok.

Now I am running the komorebic start --whkd --bar command from that directory in PS and am receiving the error that I listed above.

So, I am stuck here.. I'm not sure if I totally screwed this up, or if any of my mistakes even mattered. But I did just run the winget install LGUG2Z.whkd command, and it said it was already installed.

Then I ran this again:
`PS C:\Program Files\komorebi\bin>* ./komorebic quickstart*
Example komorebi.json, komorebi.bar.json, whkdrc and latest applications.json files created
You can now run komorebic start --whkd --bar
PS C:\Program Files\komorebi\bin>* ./komorebic start --whkd --bar*
Error: could not find whkd, please make sure it is installed before using the --whkd flag

Location:
komorebic\src/main.rs:1912:17`

And again whkd is not found..
? And where did it put the .json files? I don't see them anywhere.

Please just delete everything and follow the video

#

I mean follow the video exactly- doing every step in the video in the same exact order, from entering commands to opening and closing terminal windows

You can also visit his Series on them too, they are super helpful!

#

It sounds like you may have missed a step or have a small misconfiguration happening. The install guide on github is detailed as well.

#

Quick note; whkd needs installed separately.

I'm going to follow that quickstart tutorial video this time. It says it's for Win 11, but I'm on Win 10 pro. But I assume it's the same?
