Installation issue on Windows

[afroze9]

The installation instructions need to be updated for windows.

Currently the instructions are to create a new folder called aw-watcher-utilization under %localappdata%\activitywatch\activitywatch and copy all contents there. However, the contents need to be copied to %localappdata%\Programs\ActivityWatch\aw-watcher-utilization.

Also, as mentioned in #7, we need to create an empty toml file called aw-watcher-utilization.toml under %localappdata%\activitywatch\activitywatch\aw-watcher-utilization\.

Thanks for the help!

Just something to add: My ActivityWatch has been installed for every user, so in this case the correct directory for the zip file content is C:\Program Files (x86)\ActivityWatch\aw-watcher-utilization.

When first modifying aw-qt.toml I did not realize that every line is commented out. You need to also remove the # in the first two lines of the file.

If I remove the #, it report bugs. So I still left $.

Could you share the code that you implemented in the aw-qt.toml & aw-server.toml files? You could hide the username if you want.

As of now, my code is: aw-qt.toml [aw-qt]

autostart_modules = ["aw-server", "aw-watcher-afk", "aw-watcher-window", "aw-watcher-utilization"]

[aw-qt-testing]

autostart_modules = ["aw-server", "aw-watcher-afk", "aw-watcher-window"]

aw-server.toml [server]

host = "localhost"

port = "5600"

storage = "peewee"

cors_origins = ""

[server.custom_static]

aw-watcher-utilization = '''C:\Users\\AppData\Local\activitywatch\activitywatch\aw-watcher-utilization\visualization'''

[server-testing]

host = "localhost"

port = "5666"

storage = "peewee"

cors_origins = ""

[server-testing.custom_static]

Wait... currently the Installing instructions step 3 still says: Move the folder to the directly ActivityWatch is installed (depends on your setup). For example, on Windows: C:\Users\\AppData\Local\activitywatch\activitywatch\aw-watcher-utilization

But should it be?:

\AppData\Local\Programs\ActivityWatch\aw-watcher-utilization I can't get it to run automatically. Should I put it in the programs folder location instead?
