Receiving the following error when using app install ever-notedown

[rollonbears234]

It isn't working installing through the Atom editor either

Please check this! It might help. https://github.com/cs150bf/ever-notedown/issues/75

@mgka Hello~ I used python2 (/usr/bin/python), but still got that error above. How do you mean by "changed python version from 3.5 to 2.7"? PS: When I input 'python' in terminal, I got the python 2.7.10 environment.

@RabbitLee Hi! I I suspected that this is a compatibility problem between python3 and git-util.

@mgka Finally, I made it!

I have downloaded the zip file of ever-notedown, use

npm config set python /path/to/executable/python2.7
npm install

to install, but still get the failure

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./gyp-mac-tool", line 611, in <module>
    sys.exit(main(sys.argv[1:]))
  File "./gyp-mac-tool", line 28, in main
    exit_code = executor.Dispatch(args)
  File "./gyp-mac-tool", line 43, in Dispatch
    return getattr(self, method)(*args[1:])
  File "./gyp-mac-tool", line 246, in ExecFilterLibtool
    if not libtool_re.match(line) and not libtool_re5.match(line):
TypeError: cannot use a string pattern on a bytes-like object

I even used an alias to ensure my python version

alias python="usr/bin/python2.7"

At last, I changed the ~/.bash_profile, deleting anaconda python and it worked. Thank you !

Another thing that you might want to try is to remove the previously built git-utils before rebuilding the package:

> cd ~/.atom/packages/ever-notedown/node_modules
> npm remove git-utils
> cd ..
> apm rebuild

It worked for me.

Also thank you @mgka for the advice! I haven't tried it myself yet but I see there are reports of success (https://github.com/cs150bf/ever-notedown/issues/82).
