it keeps saying the command can't be found (if there is a really simple fix I'm sorry that I'm dumb)

Maybe gpth was installed in your current directory. You need to prepend ./ for your shell to look there. I see you're experimenting with the command-line options, and I'm pretty sure gpth is not going to love the spaces in your argument values. So, a correct command for you would look like (assuming your folders are really named like that) ./google-photos-takeout-helper -i "Downloads Takeout" -o "Downloads 3"

I kind of have briain damage is I'm sorry if I'm making dumb mistakes also should I change the names of the files (the one with the photos is called "Takeout" and the output file I'm calling "3" and also I'm not sure if I un zipped and merge the files correctly because I had 4 different takeout files (split up).

Mmh. Reading your log, it looks like it has been installed as google-photos-takeout-helper in ./Library/Python/3.9/lib/python/site-packages . If that is true, then you need to run ./Library/Python/3.9/lib/python/site-packages/google-photos-takeout-helper -i "Takeout" -o "3" If you unzip manually, yes, all zips should all extract into the same Takeout folder that they will populate each with its contents.

Last question : is there a reason you don't want to use the latest version ? (See all details at https://github.com/TheLastGimbus/GooglePhotosTakeoutHelper#readme )

I would use the latest version, if I knew how to actually use it. I kept trying with the latest version but I just couldn't understand the instructions so I decided to use the pip version because I assumed id be able ti understand but still nope, maybe ill try something (also the other thing you said to use didn't work, thanks for the help tho)

Hi there!

Don't worry with all of those "I'm dumb"s, we've all been there!

Why not use newest Dart version? I even made some visual guide, what are you stuck with?

closing for now, maybe re-open if actual issue is found
