Textract Dependency Issues #18

Closed soppliger closed 6 years ago

soppliger commented 6 years ago

I installed Anaconda and followed the install instructions to the letter. When I run python main.py I get the following error:

File "/Users/Scott/anaconda2/envs/resume/lib/python2.7/site-packages/textract/parsers/utils.py", line 101, in run
    ' '.join(args), pipe.returncode, stdout, stderr,
textract.exceptions.ShellError: The command `pdf2txt.py ../data/input/example_resumes/Brendan_Herger_Resume.pdf` failed because the executable
`pdf2txt.py` is not installed on your system.

pdf2txt is a dependency of textract, but I notice that it's commented out of the requirements.txt in 1.6.1. I tried to manually install it, but it didn't resolve the issue.

@soppliger : Thanks for your input. I believe you're using an older or non-master version of the app. Installation through pip with the requirements.txt file is no longer supported. If you're still having this issue, please use the environment.yml file, as described in the README. If you're still having this issues, please re-open this issue, or open a new issue.
