Yeah, it is also given in README: https://github.com/atlanhq/camelot#using-pip

just for installing additional dependency requirements, and it is not integrated with the package because different OS have different installations for GhostScript

@Did you solve it? I am struggling with it.

Hi, I had the same issue, and the following solution worked in my case:

1º I checked to see if dependencies were installed correctly, however the output of the find_library function was empty. Using the steps in this link: https://camelot-py.readthedocs.io/en/master/user/install-deps.html#for-ghostscript Windows using python IDLE: import ctypes from ctypes.util import find_library find_library("".join(("gsdll", str(ctypes.sizeof(ctypes.c_voidp) * 8), ".dll"))) <name-of-ghostscript-library-on-windows>

2º I had to modify one of those path variables. a) I went to Control Panel → System and Security → System → Advanced System Settings → computer name, domain and workgroup settings → Advanced → Environment Variables b) Find the Path variable within System Variables, select it and click on edit. c) Next I copy the path to bin folder (in my case was C:\Program Files (x86)\gs\gs9.55.0\bin). In Windows 10, you can do this by clicking on New and entering the path. In other Windows versions, just append the path to the variable value, seperated by a semicolon.

I hope this will help you!

Ran into the same issue. I was adding ghostscript to the path as:

set PATH="C:\Program Files\gs\gs9.55.0\bin";"C:\Program Files\gs\gs9.55.0\lib";%PATH%

Turns out the find_library implementation doesn't handle double quoted paths well and starts looking for the file: '"C:\Program Files\gs\gs9.55.0\bin"\gsdll64.dll'

Setting the path as: PATH=C:\Program Files\gs\gs9.55.0\bin;C:\Program Files\gs\gs9.55.0\lib;%PATH%

fixed the problem

Install the ghostscript through https://www.ghostscript.com/releases/gsdnld.html If you are in windows go to environment variable -> user variable -> path -> new ->

• C:\Program Files\gs\gs10.01.1\temp
• C:\Program Files\gs\gs10.01.1\bin Note: the above two path name can be different in your machine, basically it's the path name of the application you have downloaded. But, mostly the two path name it will be same in your machine(version in my case it's 10.01.1, in future your --v can be different), There you go! you got this

This works for me on Windows 10:

1. first install ghostscript from https://www.ghostscript.com/releases/gsdnld.html
2. then pip install ghostscript in your python virtual environment
