Unable to even run ingest.py

[cyonghui81]

I am running windows 10, have installed the necessary cmake and gnu that the git mentioned Python 3.11 version

However i am facing tons of issue installing privateGPT

I tried installing in a virtual environment with pip install -r requirements.txt

However when it try to run ingest.py, it gives me this error

C:\Users\User\Documents\Learning\privateGPT>python ingest.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Users\User\Documents\Learning\privateGPT\ingest.py", line 5, in from dotenv import load_dotenv ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'dotenv'

You must always do your installs within the virtual environment or they will not be seen when you run the code later. So, you must be within the venv when you initially install the project, the requirements and the things missing from the requirements and when you execute either ingest.py or privategpt.py.

Can you elaborate on this?

You create a python virtual env. Then activate that virtual env. Then run your pip install.

python -m venv {name} source {name}/bin/activate

Now, run which python and you should be pointed to your virtual environment. Now you can pip install and the virtual environment will be updated.
