1 year ago I am open to including a more step-by-step guide if someone is able to put it together, but at this time I do not have a ton of free time and while it may not be the most beginner friendly, it does work well and those versed in using CLI programs shouldn't have an issue.
Now that said, I can still definitely try to assist here!
By the sounds of it, you were nearly there! Judging only by what your description says, it sounds like the commands you were running may not have included cloning the repo / downloading the latest release and unzipping (either option should work), and so while you created the virtual environment, it didn't know what to put it in it (the step where it installs what is in the requirements.txt file requires that that file be in the directory that you are in in the terminal).
If that doesn't resolve it, are you able to include a screenshot of your terminal window to show the steps that were completed? There may be a key issue there that I can identify.
hi, i know literally nothing about python but wish to use this bot. can u write like, a tutorial in baby steps cause i dont understand some things. how i did it was, i downloaded python, i opened command prompt, put in 'python3 -m pip install --user virtualenv', after that i put in 'python3 -m venv envw'. i got no follow up message from the latter so i dont know wether that worked or not. then i continued to do '.\envw\Scripts\activate' and this was successful, as i got envw infront of everything i wrote. then i tried 'pip install -r requirements.txt' but it said it couldnt find requirements.txt. pls help as im literally so unaware of what im doing
