run.bat in Windows 10: "System can't find path" #109

Closed DominicZ8 closed 2 years ago

DominicZ8 commented 2 years ago

I installed python3 (python.org) on a Windows 10, downloaded youtube-local as a zip file and extracted it. But when I run "run.bat" it only tells me it can't find the path. Is there anything more I need to do before this is working in Win10?

Python is running well it seems, so I also tried to run the server.py script from within the youtube-local directory with >"py server.py", that gave me the error that it couldn't find gevent to import.

now I replaced the python directory inside the .bat file with my absolute path to python.exe that launches it but now also shows me the error that it couldn't import "gevent". My next step will be to install gevent on that Windows I guess.

You don't download Python separately, you use the windows zip file under the releases page which has Python and all the dependencies already included. It sounds like you're using the zip file of the repository code; that's the wrong one.

Ah, thank you very much @user234683, now it works and I learned something new today. Great tool, love it.
