Problem installing TagLab

[hopeeliwilson]

Hello, I have completed all of the steps to download TagLab. I have tried the final step in the process. Run "python.exe taglab.py" on Windows PowerShell. Then, I get this error message. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks for your help!

TagLab 2023.5.17 Traceback (most recent call last): File "Q:\Hope\Taglab\TagLab-2023.5.17\taglab.py", line 4709, in tool = TagLab() File "Q:\Hope\Taglab\TagLab-2023.5.17\taglab.py", line 436, in init self.project.loadDictionary(os.path.join(self.taglab_dir, self.default_dictionary)) File "Q:\Hope\Taglab\TagLab-2023.5.17\source\Project.py", line 277, in loadDictionary self.dictionary_name = dictionary['Name'] KeyError: 'Name'

It looks like it's trying to load in a JSON file representing the default label dictionary, which is in the TagLab folder dictionaries, called scripps.json.

Based on your error, it looks like your directory setup is causing the error. Running the following command has expectations:

python TagLab.py

Such that TagLab.py has access to the folder dictionaries, but your paths look slightly different:

Q:\Hope\Taglab\TagLab-2023.5.17\taglab.py

You should look at changing how you structure you folders; maybe have each TagLab version you use be it's own folder, which contains TagLab.py and dictionaries:

TagLab_version_A\
   TagLab.py
   dictionaries
   .... (everything else)

TagLab_version_B\
   TagLab.py
   dictionaries
   .... (everything else)

TagLab_version_C\
   TagLab.py
   dictionaries
   .... (everything else)

Instead of doing this:

TagLab\

   TagLab_version_A\
   TagLab.py
   dictionaries
   .... (everything else)

   TagLab_version_B\
   TagLab.py
   dictionaries
   .... (everything else)

   TagLab_version_C\
   TagLab.py
   dictionaries
   .... (everything else)

That may be the issue, but it's hard to tell. If that's not the issue, please report back!

Hi Jordan,

Thanks for the quick response. I changed by directory and it is still giving me the same error message.
