Did you find a way around it? Cause I'm stuck, I may skip the lesson to lesson 5

Still haven't found a way around it. I dont think just skipping to lesson 5 would be a good idea because we cannot work with python if we cant install the solidity compiler. I wonder if someone could get Patrick to respond this

I just tagged him on Twitter, hopefully he'll take a look

Problem solved by installing node.js and after which I ran in terminal "npm install -g solc" Code finally ran!!

FINALLY! You are a genius! I wonder what the issue was installing it with pip though?

[oloridama]

Yeah pip is a management system that installs packages written in python and found in python package index

I was having the same issue. I installed the solc compiler from npm. Did you add it somewhere in the brownie-config.yaml file?

Nope! Didn't add to config. I just installed node.js first to my windows machine before installing solc globally from npm.

Ok so how did brownie know which solc compiler to use?

Have you added this line to your deploy script? from solcx import compile_standard, install_solc
