[QUESTION]

[notduckiee]

I have some error while running the batch file and i don't know anything about python.

And i was following a tutorial video but i got stuck when my error is not the same as the person in the video had so i have no idea though having sought for help from some friends.

What should i do? Thanks in advance!

You aren't sending the full error, but my first guess is that you don't have visual studio build tools installed. There should be a link to download them in the console

[notduckiee]

I guess this is the full error, can you tell me what i should do?

[gitmylo]

you should click the link at the top where it tells you to install visual studio build tools

[notduckiee]

I downloaded the build tools and it still hasn't worked, and I'm sorry for the inconvenience for the fact that i know nothing about this field and might ask you a lot of questions. I think this means i have finished downloading it (first img) and I reckon the same problem still occurs? (2nd img)

[gitmylo]

have you rebooted your pc yet?

[notduckiee]

I did but its still the same

[gitmylo]

is it exactly the same error?

[notduckiee]

yes! i use window 10, idk hope this helps

[gitmylo]

that's weird, normally you'd see an error saying it couldn't find the executable if it was installed incorrectly, but it is completely unable to find it for you. can you modify your build tools installation and make sure you have the C++ build tools and compiler enabled?

[notduckiee]

okay, so i click modify, it show this! What should i check in the checkboxes? I think it was because i didn't check anything the last time? hahah maybe

[gitmylo]

you need the "desktop development with C++" package, mainly the build tools from it

TTS has successfully downloaded but there is another error with pytorch! what should i do next? does it mean that i have to download the pytorch via this link: https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu117 ?

[gitmylo]

you can try again, looks like your internet might have disconnected for a bit, causing the download to fail, i believe it continues if you retry though

[notduckiee]

I did try again and all was installed but there was something with it! what can i do?

[gitmylo]

Does it launch correctly if you try launching it again? If not, activate the venv (you can run the "activate_only.bat") and run pip freeze, check if TTS is listed there, if it is, do pip install --upgrade --force-reinstall TTS to try and reinstall TTS

[notduckiee]

There is a problem occurs when i was doing the pip install --upgrade --force-reinstall TTS

[gitmylo]

That's not a critical error, it can be ignored

[notduckiee]

How about this?

[gitmylo]

Try the common issues it gave the link for

[notduckiee]

Hey, I really appreciate the effort you have made to help me but do you mind guiding me through the whole process? I really don't know anything :/

Failed initializing MeCab. Please see the README for possible solutions:

If you are still having trouble, please file an issue here, and include the ERROR DETAILS below:

https://github.com/SamuraiT/mecab-python3/issues 

[gitmylo]

from that first link you sent, it has the common issues, which includes a package you need to have installed, vc redist. (this is separate from the build tools)

[notduckiee]

Alright, i suppose to need t click the "this" and download vc redist? and i guess i should dowload it here, the x64 one in the "Visual Studio 2015, 2017, 2019, and 2022" section? (screenshot)

If i was right then the error still occurs. btw they show me this while installing vc redist (image 2) and i clicked repair

[gitmylo]

Try asking for support on the mecab-python3 github issues, they might have a better idea for what it could be.
