What "Path" are you talking about? #71

I'm installing FTS on Windows following your tutorial. I installed Python in C:\Software\python.....etc.

After the installation has finished the services need to be configured. Configure the FreeTakServer by editing the \FreeTAKServer\core\configuration\MainConfig.py file. Path examples: native Windows install: C:\Software\python\Lib\site-packages\FreeTAKServer\core\configuration\MainConfig.py conda env named tak: C:\Users\user\micromamba\envs\tak\Lib\site-packages\FreeTAKServer\core\configuration\MainConfig.py Configure the FreeTAKServer-UI by editing the \FreeTAKServer-UI\config.py file. Path examples: native Windows install: C:\Software\python\Lib\site-packages\FreeTAKServer-UI\config.py conda env named tak: C:\Users\user\micromamba\envs\tak\Lib\site-packages\FreeTAKServer-UI\config.py

That makes NO sense. In both config files, there is no single "path" variable. There are MANY "paths". Am I modifying a path variable to point the script at ITSELF? Am I specifying the parent directory that everything shall derive from? If so, how far up the ladder am I going: the Python directory, site packages directory, or the FreeTAKServer folder, or the configuration folder?

When I run the FTS command, it returns "failed to create the fts persistence directory at /opt/fts with error: [WinError 3] The system cannot find the path specified: '/opt/fts'" Obviously this has to do with not properly specifying some path.

I appreciate your help. Thank you.

maybe, before deciding that make no sense, you should spent some time reading the documentation carefully. The instructions are not to set the path, rather they provide you with the location of the config files. inside those files you will find the IPs that you need to configure. BTW, while we provide the instructions we do not suggest, nor support windows installations image
