Still can't get things to work #146

Closed shade6116 closed 5 years ago

shade6116 commented 5 years ago

I've downloaded python and edited the Path environment variables (both for "User Variables for User" and "System Variables", putting a semicolon both at the end of the previous line and on the tumblr path itself). I also both put in and left out 'python' in command prompt but it's still not working for me. technical I followed the instructions in this post ( http://clockpunkgamelover.tumblr.com/post/180814556438/loreweaver-universe-damaramegido ), so that's why I entered my desktop in command prompt.

It looks like you haven't got python installed, maybe the installer didn't work? When it does work, you should be able to type where python into a terminal and it'll give you a filename (it doesn't matter what it is, just that there is one).

I used the x86 MSI installer and ran it, now when i open it, it asks change, repair, or remove.

Ooo! This Issue suggests adding C:\Python27 to your Path, that might be why Windows isn't finding it -- it's installing correctly, but not being made accessible.

shade6116 commented 5 years ago

So what would be the full line to put into Path? And which Path should it be?

ghost commented 5 years ago

Either Path should work: the second one would make it work for all user accounts on the system, the first one just yourself.

I'm not sure what the full line should be, it probably varies by version of Windows and what other programs you have on there. Just do the thing with appending a semicolon to the current version and then adding the new folder location to the end.

shade6116 commented 5 years ago

Added c:\Python27; to User variables and pasted the desktop path after it. I don't think that was right since it's still not working.

ghost commented 5 years ago

Does the folder c:\Python27 exist? Maybe it's being installed somewhere else...

shade6116 commented 5 years ago

It does, it's in my Local Disk.

ghost commented 5 years ago

I have no idea then, sorry.

Btw, if you type PATH in a terminal it should show the two Path variables concatenated, and this list of folders is what the terminal actually searches through when looking for things to run when you type their names in; maybe check that this IS actually being updated with your edits? It's a long shot but I can't think of anything else to try.

After some fiddling: techincal 2

ghost commented 5 years ago

Ah! Try going along your user variable path and removing all the quotemarks -- they were probably added by your browser or text editor (assuming you were copying and pasting stuff) and are confusing the terminal.

Deleted the " : techincal 2

shade6116 commented 5 years ago

It finally worked!
