Unable to run Urs.py #29

Closed noah-hu closed 3 years ago

noah-hu commented 3 years ago

When attempting to run Urs.py I receive the following error. noah@noahdesktop ~/S/U/urs> ./Urs.py -h Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/noah/Scrapers/URS-master/urs/./Urs.py", line 30, in <module> from urs.utils.Logger import LogMain ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'urs'

Machine Specs

Additional Context I am unsure if this is due to my own error or not. I am relatively new to python.

While you did not correctly fill out the bug report, I do appreciate how you included the traceback of the error. I had forgotten to update the install command in the main README as it is now outdated. That being said, I believe the issue may be resolved by running pip install within the URS directory:

git clone https://github.com/JosephLai241/URS.git
cd URS/
pip install . -r requirements.txt

. will install URS and its child packages, and -r requirements.txt installs all project dependencies listed in the requirements.txt file.

For future reference, please do not delete or modify the default issue template when you open an issue within an open-source repository. Its purpose is to maintain a structured, detailed set of information so that it is possible for developers to replicate the bug that you are describing.

For me that command doesn't work from the urs directory. End up getting Directory '.' is not installable.

You should run setup.py first.

My apologies for the late response. After doing some research, it seems the issue could be related to your PYTHONPATH. Try running this line within your shell:

python3 -c "import os, sys; print(os.environ['PYTHONPATH']); print(sys.path) if 'PYTHONPATH' in sorted(os.environ) else print('PYTHONPATH is not defined')"

Running the command will print a list containing directories where Python will look for modules. If your PYTHONPATH is not set, it will print "PYTHONPATH is not defined".

If the path to where URS is saved on your machine is not in the list, try adding it to PYTHONPATH. Here is a link that explains how to do so for each operating system.

^ Note above. I was getting PYTHONPATH error, it wasnt even adding the 'not defined' part. I manage to fix both that, and the missing urs module by just running python3 setup.py install Then ran the pip requirements again just to be safe. Followed by running Urs.py in the root directory like python3 ./urs/Urs.py
