Add more detailed installation instructions

Open dinanz opened this issue 2 years ago • 5 comments

I would like to suggest and work on adding more installation instructions or frequently encountered issues during isntallation to the README. Myself (Windows) and friends (Mac) encountered a few different issues during installation, which I've included below. I'd like to add some of these issues and how to solve them to the Installation Guide in the README or perhaps in a separate file.

Windows: Error: ImportError: DLL load failed while importing win32api: The specified module could not be found. Solution: Uninstall win32api and reinstall by the following commands: pip uninstall pywin32 pip install pywin32

Mac: Error: Can't run jarvis from command Jarvis Solution: run ./jarvis

Hey! Thanks for your input!

Mac:
Error:
Can't run jarvis from command Jarvis
Solution:
run ./jarvis

Agree; could really be explained better. Also applies to Linux.

Uninstall win32api and reinstall by the following commands:

This is weird... What version of Python and Windows (installed by Windows Store or by msi/exe) are you using?

But nice that you found a solution by yourself!

Hi! I'm using python 3.9.12 and windows 10. I think python was installed via exe. With my specific problem I tried adding pywin32 to the path as well as updating, and in the end it turned out reinstalling did the trick. Given how prone Windows is to problems with environment variables and stuff I'm not entirely sure this would be the solution for everyone but I think it could definitely be of use to someone if I can simply add a few suggested solutions to a few known problems. I'll start work straight away!
