Do not understand inkscape-figures #28

Closed dolefeast closed 3 years ago

dolefeast commented 3 years ago

Hi! This might be a dumb question but I don't know how to run the inkscape-figures watch on the terminal. I always get the "Command not found". What am I doing wrong? I straight up typed inkscape-figures watch in the terminal inside the folder I'm working in. What confuses me is that it's the first time I see a python library(I call it like that because I installed it through pip) ran directly from the terminal, as if I were to run $numpy and something would happen. Thanks in advance.

Hi @dolefeast, thanks for your question.

You should normally be able to install inkscape-figures and then run it by typing "inkscape-figures" in your terminal. Inkscape-figures is not a library like numpy meant for using in other python files – instead it provides an executable file that can be ran from the terminal.

To further investigate your problem: what OS are you using? How did you install inkscape-figures (please specify the exact command you ran) What was the output when installing?

Hi. I installed it in Arch (it's like 2 days old so I don't think it's interfering with other files) using pip3 install inkscape-figures.

sudo -H pip3 install inkscape-figures worked. I can run inkscape-figures now. Thanks a lot!
