@sushantgupta try installing tkinter from terminal brew install python-tk else: comment line 33 in HomeScreenGui.py

[anilabhadatta]

@sushantgupta any update on this?

[donadoio]

@anilabhadatta I had the same issue and it worked, I just had to run install again before running.

[anilabhadatta]

@donadoio i guess the manual steps is better recommended for linux/MacOS env Seems like some dependencies like tkinter and few more are required to be installed separately.

[anilabhadatta]

@donadoio can you test again, latest pull and clean install again.

@anilabhadatta the installation is succesfull and I'm able to run the Educative Scraper however when I click on Login Account I get this error

@donadoio disable the ucdriver settings and try again. Also do git pull first. ucdriver is not supported in Mac Arm based chips. Can you confirm if you are using m1 based mac ?

[donadoio]

@anilabhadatta I was using m3 based mac.

[anilabhadatta]

@donadoio use latest pull. Selenium base is integrated so shouldn't cause issues
