Hey,

I guess you are using a Windows machine. Unfortunately, I haven't tested anything on Windows, so I can't help with you so much at this moment.

Btw, running Linux on Windows has become much simpler:

1. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install
2. https://opensource.com/article/18/5/dual-boot-linux

It's of course a pain in the ass to move from Windows to Linux, but I bet it's worth it, especially if you are willing to be involved more into software development.

Otherwise, you'll have to google or find someone who can help you with running things on a Windows machine.

One of the students managed to run it on Windows. Check this out: https://github.com/leolani/cltl-chatbots/blob/main/TROUBLESHOOTING.md

I've tried the steps outlined there, but the encoding is already set in setup.py. Trying to change it to # encoding: utf-8 does nothing either.

Do you wanna give a shot at windows 11 WSL? I've tested it yesterday, and now it supports sound output as well. They say USB devices might work too but it might be a bit hacky at this point.
