hello @Gabo2447 can you please share the following information about your error: which version of reflex are you using? if comfortable, can you share the code snippet that caused this error? or if you aren't sure, can you share the entire code? do you have any information on how this error can be reproduced?

Yeah, First I created a Virtual Environment and installed Reflex 0.4.4 and updated the PIP 21 to 24 (Something I forgot to mention is that I always had the Virtual Environment active)

When the PIP update and the installation of Reflex finished (one at a time) I created a folder called test, I went to that folder in CMD and put the command: reflex init When the command was being executed, a menu of options appeared, there were two options, one appeared in parentheses and another option, I hit Enter and I got that error

I also get a warning from the Node.js Binary

Hello, if you are working with Windows, can you explain to us how you created the venv virtual environment?

c:\users\vit\desktop\my_app_name.venv\lib\site-packages\reflex\reflex.py"

Hello, if you are working with Windows, can you explain to us how you created the venv virtual environment?

c:\users\vit\desktop\my_app_name.venv\lib\site-packages\reflex\reflex.py"

What I did was go to the folder that I had previously created on the desktop, this one is called PYTHON3_REFLEX, I went to that path using CMD and when I got to the path I entered the following command: Python -m venv venv After the Virtual Environment was created I activated it with the command "venv\scripts\activate"

[cllatser]

OK. Try if you use CMD:

venv\Scripts\activate.bat

Or PowerShell:

venv\Scripts\activate.ps1

If you look in front of your venv, a dot appears and not a slash, I'm almost sure it is some problem with the activation of the venv. I also use Windows:

C:\Users\Carlos Llatser\PycharmProjects\learn_udemy\curso_web\venv\Lib\site-packages\reflex\utils\prerequisites.py
