Installation issue #18

Closed woutkonings closed 4 years ago

Hi!

I have some problems installing the package. It seems to try to install docx2pdf and appscript at the same, while appscript is already installed.

Terminal log:

pip install docx2pdf Collecting docx2pdf Using cached docx2pdf-0.1.7-py3-none-any.whl (6.6 kB) Collecting appscript<2.0.0,>=1.1.0; sys_platform == "darwin" Using cached appscript-1.1.1-cp37-cp37m-macosx_10_6_x86_64.whl (83 kB) Requirement already satisfied: importlib_metadata<2.0.0,>=1.3.0; python_version < "3.8" in /opt/anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages (from docx2pdf) (1.5.0) Requirement already satisfied: tqdm<5.0.0,>=4.41.0 in /opt/anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages (from docx2pdf) (4.42.1) Requirement already satisfied: zipp>=0.5 in /opt/anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages (from importlib_metadata<2.0.0,>=1.3.0; python_version < "3.8"->docx2pdf) (2.2.0) Installing collected packages: appscript, docx2pdf Attempting uninstall: appscript Found existing installation: appscript 1.0.1 ERROR: Cannot uninstall 'appscript'. It is a distutils installed project and thus we cannot accurately determine which files belong to it which would lead to only a partial uninstall.

@woutkonings, it appears pip wants to uninstall your currently installed version of appscript at 1.0.1 and replace it with appscript 1.1.1.

the best solution here to use a virtual environment. if you're on python3, you can run:

python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install docx2pdf

here's some docs on venv in case you need more help: https://docs.python.org/3/library/venv.html
