In installing this private GPT I get this error and do not know how to resolve it: Launching privateGPT! Python was not found; run without arguments to install from the Microsoft Store, or disable this shortcut from Settings > Manage App Execution Aliases. PS C:\Users\equus>

[andrewmayorga]

are you using the python3 or python command to run the script?

I saw Manage App Execution Alias when python was not installed on Windows 10. That shortcut takes you to Microsoft Store to install python. There is some confusion between Microsoft Store and python.org that needs to be resolved.

I downloaded python from: https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/ and installed version Python 3.10.0rc2 - Sept. 7, 2021

I am trying to follow the YT install guide here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lL2mPPAgN8) but not getting workable results for install.

use py instead of python

[MoonTucker]

maozdemir. Thank you for your response. I don't have the context to understand what you mean by 'use' when you say: use py instead of python Will you help clarify for me, please? Is there a step-by-step install sheet I can reference to make sure I have all the needed programs installed too?

[maozdemir]

what commands do you use to launch the project? can you paste here?

Running Terminal on my pc as administrator I start with this prompt: iex (irm.privategpt.tc.ht) Everything goes well and a desktop icon for Private GPT is added. Immediately following that, I get this error: Python version is not between 3.10.6 and 3.10.11. Assuming you've installed the correct version, please enter the comand you use to access Python 3.9/3.10. Enter the Python program name (e.g. python3, python310): I have Python 3.10 installed but when I enter that in response to the above prompt I get this:

Python version is not between 3.10.6 and 3.10.11. Alternatively, follow this guide for manual installation: https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui/wiki/Install-and-Run-on-NVidia-GPUs Process can try to continue, but will likely fail. Press Enter to continue...: Python 3.10.0b1 Python 3.10.0b1 I'll start by installing privateGPT first, then we'll get to the model...
