Missing script files for install

[mimiyin]

Is there a new process for installing dependencies? There are no longer script files inside of dev/dep. I was able to get it working by installing phue manually but would love to use this for a beginner class and want to iron out the install issues. Thank you for creating this!

What's your OS @mimiyin?

On Windows the process should look like:

• create a new project folder
• save your toe file to that folder
• drag the hue tox into your project
• save your toe file
• quit and restart the td project or bypass and un-bypass the TD component

Testing the above, that creates all of the required pieces.

Currently, the install process does rely on a OS installation of python 3 that matches with TD's built in version. This uses a subprocess call to launch a pip install process. It could be a mismatch there if you're seeing some issues.

For reference, in the comp there's extHelperMOD this contains all of the helper and installation process code for pulling these outside dependencies into TD. There's a long going conversation on the Derivative forum about how best to work with python dependencies, and how to pull in outside libraries.

Thx for the quick response. I just tried it on Windows and it works like a charm. But still doesn't work on my macOS Catalina (10.15.7) The install script doesn't appear to run at all. Terminal should pop open for a second? The first time I toggle "Cooking" I get an additional error that complains about not being able to find "requirements.txt". The error disappears on subsequent toggles.

Ahh, okay. I don't have a mac handy to debug this on until tomorrow.

macOS is a little pickier about how it handles some of these elements, and it's a good brain buster to get this playing nicely.

When is your class planned to start? I can work on a fix here, but it might be the weekend before I can get this knot untangled.
