I need help

[rxne1]

I don't understand the instructions on how to install this programme

[marssystems]

What system are you trying to install it on?

[rxne1]

I don't know, what system should i install it on

[marssystems]

I run it on Windows 10.

Do you have windows 10 ?

[rxne1]

Yeah I have windows 10, what do I do?

[marssystems]

OK - Install Python 3.10.4 first.

[marssystems]

https://www.python.org/downloads/

[rxne1]

okay done

[rxne1]

So now what do I do?

[marssystems]

Now go to Code and download the zip file.

Extract all the programs from the zip and put them in C:\plutus

Create a .bat file called Run-Plutus.bat in the C:\Plutus directory

Edit the Run-Plutus.bat file and put -

cd C:\Plutus python plutus.py

pause

in the .bat file - save it then double click it to run it.

That's it!

[rxne1]

How do I extract all of the programmes?

[marssystems]

just double click on the zip file and windows will do the rest.

[rxne1]

I extracted them but there is no C:\Plutus directory

[marssystems]

You have to create it yourself.

[rxne1]

C:\Plutus directory>cd C:\Plutus

C:\Plutus>python plutus.py python: can't open file 'C:\Plutus\plutus.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory

C:\Plutus>pause Press any key to continue . . .

[rxne1]

What does that mean? I done all of the steps you told me to

[marssystems]

Is plutus.py in the C:\Plutus directory?

[rxne1]

I cant find any folder which has plutus.py

[marssystems]

Where did you extract the files to from the zip file?

You will need to copy all those files to the C:\Plutus directory.

Directory of C:\Plutus

[rxne1]

The only ones i have are 11/04/2022 11:51 database 11/04/2022 07:19 5,321 plutus.py 07/04/2022 23:41 84 plutus.txt 07/04/2022 23:41 4,619 README.md 07/04/2022 23:41 23 requirements.txt 22/04/2022 11:57 38 Run-Plutus.bat

[marssystems]

That is good - it should work now.

[rxne1]

C:\Plutus directory>cd C:\Plutus

C:\Plutus>python plutus.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Plutus\plutus.py", line 10, in from ellipticcurve.privateKey import PrivateKey ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'ellipticcurve'

C:\Plutus>pause Press any key to continue . . .

[marssystems]

OK - you haven't installed the extra requirements from the requirements.txt file.

Open a CMD window in administrator mode and then type -

pip install starkbank-ecdsa==0.1.4

That will fix the error.

[rxne1]

C:\WINDOWS\system32> pip install starkbank-ecdsa==0.1.4 'pip' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

[marssystems]

You will need to add - C:\Users\XXXXXXX\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\Scripts\

to your Path in the system environment variables. Replace XXXXXXXX with your own directory name.

[rxne1]

It still does not work, what environmental variable do i change?

[rxne1]

C:\WINDOWS\system32>pip install starkbank-ecdsa==0.1.4 Requirement already satisfied: starkbank-ecdsa==0.1.4 in c:\users\ronni\appdata\local\programs\python\python310\lib\site-packages (0.1.4)

[rxne1]

C:\Plutus directory>cd C:\Plutus

C:\Plutus>python plutus.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Plutus\plutus.py", line 10, in from ellipticcurve.privateKey import PrivateKey ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'ellipticcurve'

C:\Plutus>pause Press any key to continue . . .

[marssystems]

Have you tried to do a pip install elipticcurve ?

[rxne1]

Yes that’s what I tried and it said was successful but still does not work

[marssystems]

Well I don't know why it shouldn't work. It works fine for me.

[rxne1]

Ahh ok, is there any chance I could share my screen with you or vice versa?

[marssystems]

Add c:\users\ronni\appdata\local\programs\python\python310\ to the PATH environment variable (if its not there already) and see if that fixes the problem.

[rxne1]

It’s stuck after reading databases 20/20 done

[rxne1]

I’m not sure what’s meant to happen, can you send a picture of yours working?

[marssystems]

How much memory do you have in your PC ?

[marssystems]

[rxne1]

I have 4gb RAM with 3.47gb available

[rxne1]

Nevermind only 201mb available

[marssystems]

You need at least 8Gb of RAM. 2Gb for each processor core.

Upgrade your PC memory to at least 8GB - 16GB is better.

[marssystems]

At least you have the program up and running - sort of!

[rxne1]

Ah ok

[rxne1]

Thanks for the help

[marssystems]

No worries - any time!
