ImportError: Bad git executable #45

Closed AllisonTieman closed 3 years ago

AllisonTieman commented 3 years ago

I believe I successfully installed Stytra on a Windows system (using manual installation) but am unable to open looming_exp to test my installation. The error message I receive is this:

**ImportError: Bad git executable. The git executable must be specified in one of the following ways:

All git commands will error until this is rectified.**

Another issue I had during installation that is possibly related is that the version of PyQt5 I installed seemed to be incompatible with Stytra and I finally had to use an administrator terminal to install Stytra.

Please use layman's terms and provide command-line syntax if possible in your response as I am very much a beginner.

Hi @AllisonTieman, thanks for trying Stytra, I am sorry you are experiencing these issues - but also thanks for reporting! :)

For your problem, could you tell me: 1) What system are you working with? Windows? 2) Which python version you use? (in terminal, type where python or which python depending on your os) 3) did you create an anaconda environment to install the package? 4) What version of GitPython do you have? (in terminal type pip list and check out GitPython in the table it prints) 5) Finally, for manual installation you mean that you installed from the GitHub repository?
