I am a complete beginner in coding.
So, I'm new to the programming jargons and processes and installations.
Please excuse me if I have misunderstood something.
I have tried to install, uninstall apps completely .. and reinstall.. and update .. Phew! It feels like a mess to me and I'm a little lost without proper direction.
And I feel that the below issues are a part of this installing, and reinstalling.
Current situation:
I tried to download Anaconda and at the end of the installation process I got an error message saying installation failed and that I had to contact the manufacturer.
But, I saw Anaconda navigator in the apps section!
I had tried to remove all the system files before reinstalling Anaconda.
How do I know if its installed properly?
Related to this: can I download/access Atom and PyCharm environments through this Anaconda navigator instead of downloading these two interpreters separately?
What does that mean to link Conda interpreter in PyCharm? How is this different?
Because when I used PyCharm previously I had issues assigning an interpreter to the PyCharm projects.
I tried to update the Python version on the Mac terminal through the Excode and Homebrew process. And during installation I got a message saying installation had failed.
But, now when I check on the bash terminal for the Python version it shows Python 3.8.8 !
How is this possible even after the error with the installation?
Now, can I uninstall Excode and Homebrew from my computer?
I tried to install the mysqlclient-module for python 3.8. I ran into several problems while doing so that are described in other posts. I then tried to install it on another pc where it worked. On the first one it downloaded the mysql.tar.gz file and tried to build the file by itself(failed due to another error). But on the other pc it instead downloaded the 1.4.6-cp38-cp38-win_amd64.whl file and installed it correctly. Both machines run Windows 10 and when running platform.architecture() i receive the same result on both. I even tried installing the wheel manually on the first machine where i got the "not supported wheel on this plattform". The only difference i found in the systemversions is the build which is 17763 on the one it worked and 18363 on the one it didnt work (although i believe this shouldnt be the source)
After trying around a bit i realized this error only occurs while beeing in the virtual enviroment in pycharm on the first machine. I was able to install it outside of the virtual enviroment and then copy the created files manually to the virtual enviroment.
I had Python 3 working well on Windows 10, with Anaconda installed. When I uninstalled Anaconda, something went wrong and I started having this problem.
I tried all the solutions but nothing worked. I decided to reinstall Python. I uninstalled with no issues (the scripts and lib/site-packages directories were not deleted, but I assume that's the correct behavior) and when I install again, all the executables and files in the main directory, including python.exe, are not installed. I also tried the web installer but got the same results.
If Python cannot be reinstalled, that means that when I uninstalled it something remained in Windows. How to get rid of Python completely?
I tried to install Anaconda using the normal python 3.5 windows 64-bit .exe file. Every time I run the installation, all the extraction in it fails due to error of some ungtz.dll file as shown in the picture. Even my Antivirus detects that file as a Trojan and repairs it.So after the installation ends there is not Anaconda Prompt and other such software.
Anaconda Installation Problem
Can anyone help and suggest how I go about successfully installing anaconda?
Turn off Firewall and antivirus and try with run Administrator,or others versions
So I was really eager to try generating a django model diagram with django-extensions by doing the following:
manage.py graph_models -a -g -o my_project_visualized.png
Then I realized I need pygraphviz to make it work. I'm running Windows 7 64bit, so I installed Activestate and Graphviz as suggested by the documentation as a requirement. Graphviz 2.28 was installed quite successfully and then Activestate was installed with some tweaks msiexec /package activestate_install.exe /qr because it always stuck at "finish checking disk spaces required".
Later, it turns out activestate wasn't really helping in installing pygraphviz. So after a lot of trial and errors, I managed to install pygraphviz by following this guide http://blog.ropardo.ro/2011/11/28/installing-pygraphviz-on-windows/. Just as I tried to run the graph_models command again, python once again tells me that pygraphviz module is not installed... so I pip freeze to see if it's really not installed. Now comes the good part, pip freeze returns a traceback of ImportError: DLL load failed: %1 is not a valid Win32 application. But that only happens in virtualenvs, when get out of virturalenvs and pip freeze, it works as expected.
By googling around, I realized I might have installed some 64bit version package while having 32bit python 2.7.3 on my machine, and that's indeed what I did. Just that I don't remember which ones I installed were 64bit. It's late at night, and I'm tired and frustrated, so I started uninstalling things that I thought might be causing the problem. I uninstalled mingw32 and Activestate, and the next thing I know, I can't even get into python from command line. pip is not recognized either; every python package is not recognized. Checking back at the Python27 directory, half of the folders are gone in C:\Python27\Lib. There used to be a lot of files and folders which it's impossible for me to recall what they are, and now there's only 4 directories:
bsddb, importlib, site-packages, and test
and the site-packages folder is a lot "cleaner", too! I'm sure there used to be a lot of package files and scripts (some .pth files and .py files). Now there's only two files easy-install.pth and PIL.pth and some folders for some packages I installed. However, the most critical issue is I can't even use python in cmd now.
I thought maybe uninstalling activestate messed up some of the environmental variables I set, then I went into the system settings and added in things like C:\Python27\Scripts;C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages to PATH. I went back into cmd, and typed "python" and "pip", the response I get for python is The system cannot find the path specified., and for pip it's still 'pip' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
This is kind of the only time that I regret for not setting up a system restore point..
Could anyone please tell me what's going on here, what am I doing wrong, and how am I supposed to get everything working again? Thanks a lot!
Boy, you indeed messed up your installation. "ActiveState" is a python distribution for Windows, so you installed a new python distribution over your old one. When you uninstalled, it obligingly removed your python installation, including the default library.
You'll have to reinstall your Python installation, I'm afraid. Start from scratch or backup.
You have my sympathies, if that's any consolation.
