Installation issue on macOS

[andyylin]

Hello, I've got localhost:3000 set up, but trying to start the service I get this popup error in the browser window:

python remind_sansprint.py /bin/sh: python: command not found

I do have python installed.

Terminal shows this output:

It’s possible that Python commands on your Mac are running with python3 instead of python. If that's the case, you can try the following update:

In the route.ts file located in the src/app/api/start-service/route.ts folder, modify line 6:

Current code:

exec('python remind_sansprint.py', (error, stdout, stderr) => {

Change it to:

exec('python3 remind_sansprint.py', (error, stdout, stderr) => {

[DonTizi]

Thanks for letting me know; I will adapt it to work with both setups.

[andyylin]

Thanks, I've modified the file, now I get this error:

Error: Command failed: python remind _sansprint.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Users/andylin/Documents/ReMind/remind_sansprint.py", line 12, in <module> import rumps
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'rumps'

Formatting might be off, I wasn't able to directly select the error text, so I used OCR to capture it.

[DonTizi]

normally rumps module should be installed within the installer ,

try to do first pip install rumps and start the service after this, let me know

[andyylin]

I did pip3 install rumps and the Start Service button ran for longer, then gave me an error about psutil

So then I did pip3 install psutil and tried to start the service again, now it gives this error:

I understand now, you will need to change all the pip commands to pip3 in the installer.py, and do the same for the python command.

Your system uses python3 and pip3, but in the installer, it is currently done with python3 and pip.

Make the changes and let me know. In the meantime, I'll update the installer code to work with both pip/pip3 and python/python3 tomorrow.

[andyylin]

Thanks.

Couldn't figure out how to uninstall, so I just deleted the folder and re-downloaded. I fixed the pip3 and python3 stuff. During install it threw these warnings:

npm warn deprecated inflight@1.0.6: This module is not supported, and leaks memory. Do not use it. Check out lru-cache if you want a good and tested way to coalesce async requests by a key value, which is much more comprehensive and powerful.
npm warn deprecated @humanwhocodes/config-array@0.11.14: Use @eslint/config-array instead
npm warn deprecated rimraf@3.0.2: Rimraf versions prior to v4 are no longer supported
npm warn deprecated glob@7.2.3: Glob versions prior to v9 are no longer supported
npm warn deprecated @humanwhocodes/object-schema@2.0.3: Use @eslint/object-schema instead
npm warn deprecated electron-packager@17.1.2: Please use @electron/packager moving forward. There is no API change, just a package name change

Then, when installing the service, it still gave me an error with pip again (I'm guessing the install service is another script file?). So I ran the command manually in Terminal: pip3 install --upgrade pip -r requirements.txt

Then it looks like it "failed building wheel for pyaudio":

@andyylin - this is how I fixed the pyaudio problem. Make sure you have homebrew installed.

xcode-select --install
brew remove portaudio
brew install portaudio
pip3 install pyaudio

[kjarnot]

Also, I should mention that the installation goes much smoother if you use a virtual environment when installing. Simply do:

python -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate

before running the npm install command.
