"pip install subliminal" does not provide subliminal binary

Open Raven-Singularity opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

I'm on Windows 10. I installed Python v3 and had it add to my PATH. I ran "pip install subliminal" from a cmd terminal. The command completes fine, however nothing is added to my scripts folder, only python and other miscellaneous files in the packages folder.

How do I get a subliminal.exe file, which is needed to actually do anything?

The documentation page says that the binary should be installed with the pip command, but it is not installed.

Okay, the original problem was "Program Files" has strict permissions, so nothing was getting installed to those folders via pip. The install instructions should mention that. It was supposed to put files into %appdata%, but a search of that folder didn't show any subliminal.exe. I just changed the Python folder to allow write access to all local users, and then "pip uninstall subliminal" and "pip install subliminal" and it appeared in Scripts.
