Doesn't want to run #6

Closed CounterGambit closed 3 years ago

CounterGambit commented 3 years ago

This tool would be very useful for me, but it doesn't want to run!

jrg94 commented 3 years ago

I'm excited that you want to use it! What issue are you running into?

CounterGambit commented 3 years ago

I'm trying to run the program, and nothing I do is getting it to run.

jrg94 commented 3 years ago

Can you share some examples? Or show me the error you're getting?

CounterGambit commented 3 years ago

I'm not getting any errors. Which is even more confusing. I'm simply trying to run the program, and nothing happens.

jrg94 commented 3 years ago

Hmm! I haven't used this in awhile. Let me try to run it.

CounterGambit commented 3 years ago

if you get it to work, mind providing a step by step, just to make sure I'm not missing something so obvious, and my brain is just too fried to think of it... lol

jrg94 commented 3 years ago

Since there's some interest, I'll probably convert this into a proper package so you can just pip and run.

CounterGambit commented 3 years ago

I have no idea what you mean by pip... if that's a python term, I'm still new to it.

jrg94 commented 3 years ago

No worries! I'll put together a guide 😄

jrg94 commented 3 years ago

Okay, so we should be in good shape now! If you head to the homepage of this repo, there'll be directions for this. Let me know if you run into trouble. If you need more help with pip, I can help with that as well.

CounterGambit commented 3 years ago

Okay, I see now a Setup.py, do I just double click on that, or do I need to do something else first? python confuses me!

jrg94 commented 3 years ago

You should be able to run pip install pso2-color-picker. Then you can run color-picker directly.

CounterGambit commented 3 years ago

Do I have to put the color picker files in a specific location for the pip install to work? because I tried that, and get a syntaxerror: invalid syntax

jrg94 commented 3 years ago

Interesting! What version of Python are you using? Also, does the pip install fail?

CounterGambit commented 3 years ago

I am using the latest version of Python, 3.9.0. And yes the install fails, it comes back with "Syntax Error: Invalid Syntax"

jrg94 commented 3 years ago

Are you running the command from the command line? This worked for me:

CounterGambit commented 3 years ago

I found the problem. and had to reinstall python.

CounterGambit commented 3 years ago

Thanks for the help, and I'm glad it's resolved
