Unable To Start Application

[zluckytraveler]

I'm unable to start the application, and this is the output error I receive. I all requirements have been installed, and I have python 3.11.0 installed as well.

I am using an Apple Mac Mini M1 on macOS Monterey v12.6

Traceback (most recent call last):

That looks like the script is being executed by a Python version older than 3.10 even though you have 3.11 installed.

Use --version with the Python command you're using (e.g. python --version) to check which version is being used.

So it looks like for some reason it was using an old version of python, however I got that fixed and for it to be using the newest version. However now I am getting a different error for the requests module, and I have all requirements installed.

Your pip command must be pointing to the old version of Python. Run python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt instead.

That's exactly what I did first. I just ran this command just now so you could see it was installed. I however did get it work, for some reason it wouldn't registered that they were installed when using the requirements.txt file, so I just tried installing them one by one with pip and it worked, kinda odd.
