tspivey commented 2 years ago

It works on them.

Can confirm, it runs on my M1 Mac-Mini

I'm definitely nobody important and admit that I have no idea what I'm doing but am commenting specifically on this issue as it is already open and although the initial poster did not detail the problem faced, I am also using an M1 air. That said, I tried installing and when I try to load, after following instructions, I get: "No such file or directory" I'm aware this would only happen if installation did not go as planned. What I can not figure out is why it would not have, considering I did in fact follow all instructions. This is not meant to be a complaint, more a question mark, because I'm terrible in terminal and trying to figure out what I've done wrong or how I can figure out what I've done wrong. Any and all advice/suggestions appreciated.

What are you typing to load it? You should have a directory named tdsr in your home directory. Once terminal is up, assuming homebrew python is installed, typing ~/tdsr/tdsr should start it.

‎⁨Macintosh HD⁩ ▸ ⁨Users⁩ ▸ ⁨Username This is the location of the folder. I copied the entire phrase to use for running it directly from the instructions. Should I have been somewhere specific when I did so? If I launch a clean instance of terminal, is that sufficient or should I have gone to a specific directory before launching? Although I did install python and definitely homebrew, it does say a file is missing. Particularly, it says:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Users/username/tdsr/tdsr", line 13, in import pyte ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pyte' As I have stated before, I'm positive there is something I'm doing wrong. the program works for everyone else. I'm just not sure what it is, because I did follow the instructions. I'm sincerely sorry. Please feel free to ask for any other information that might help you figure out what happened.

You forgot to install the requirements. Open a terminal, cd tdsr and run pip3 install -Ur requirements.txt from there.

Ok, for some reason, even though I did do that before, it did something different now. So the next thing is to in theory, just run it. When I do that, it works. My apologies once more and many thanks for your assistance here.
