pip install tldr.py - errors #17

I decided to move this out of the previous thread for better visibility. After successfully installing tldr.py (i.e. by performing pip install tldr.py), and creating the ~/.tldrcc (i.e. with tldr.py init. I attempt to execute tldr.py and receive the following errors: .# tldr find sed Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/bin/tldr", line 11, in sys.exit(cli()) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/click/core.py", line 716, in call return self.main(_args, _kwargs) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/click/core.py", line 696, in main rv = self.invoke(ctx) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/click/core.py", line 1060, in invoke return _process_result(sub_ctx.command.invoke(sub_ctx)) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/click/core.py", line 889, in invoke return ctx.invoke(self.callback, _ctx.params) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/click/core.py", line 534, in invoke return callback(_args, **kwargs) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/tldr/cli.py", line 93, in find find_page(command) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/tldr/cli.py", line 28, in find_page encoding='utf-8') as f: IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/tldr/pages/index.json'

My environment: I am using Debian 8, with Python 2.7. I have also tried this on the latest version of openSUSE tumbleweed and received the same error after performing the same steps.

The reason for the problem: tldr.py can't find the index.json, which will be used to find the command page. Where do you put the the tldr repo that contains the man pages? From the error log, it seems that you put it under /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/tldr folder?

Oh I see, I was using the tldr installation directory, instead of the tldr-pages directory.

lord63 commented 8 years ago

Yeah, the directory should be the location that contains the man pages so that we can find the pages. Close it now.

@AdamGreenhill, Hi Adam, how did you change the directory location to the one that contains man pages as said by @lord63. I am struck there! :(

@ymdatta Just open the .tldrrc file(should be ~/.tldrrc) and just edit repo_directory section. Or you can delete the existed .tldrrc file and regenerate the file with tldr init.
