Installation problems for newbies!

Your program is the only great thing leading me to Python! I am using windows 10, then I faced some errors. After googling, I found some things need to be altered and I would like to list them here for other people who are also in love with music box but don't know anything about Python (and programming as well): 1- You need to install the newest Python for Windows https://www.python.org/downloads/ 2- Download the zip file 3- Press "Window+R" then type 'cmd' to open command interface 4- I saved and unzipped the folder onto the D: drive, then I typed D: (enter) to change the drive 5- Type "cd [the path of the folder punch_box] to move into it 6- Type "pip install virtualenv" (to install virtualenv) 7- Type "virtualenv -p python .pb2" (instead of "virtualenv -p python2 .pb2") 8- Type ".pb2\Scripts\activate" (instead of "source..., because this command is not for window) 9- Type "pip install -r requirements.txt" (instead of "pip install") 10- ... then I don't know what to do next since the command "pip install" return to "ERROR: You must give at least one requirement to install..." I tried to command setup.py --> ERROR:root:Error parsing (and a really long error description) Could you please tell me how to finish this install process and run your program? Thank you very much!

Have you managed it?

You should start with "." at the end of command at step #10.
Then you will probably encounter some other issues, but do not give up - it really works. Let me know if you need further assistance.

I would also mention, that at the moment the code is written for python2 and doesn't work with python3. The Changes are minor, but for a newbie it might be difficult to understand what to do ;).
