Make first_time_setup errors log

[theShiZa]

Hi James & all.

When I run make first_time_setup it starts ok & starts working but then I get a bunch of errors. I have saved my Log files, if James or someone can check it out for me would be really appreciated!

I have confirmed install of everything else, node -v, python --version, choco --version, make --version etc.

I also tried running the 2 Makefile commands separately, seems like only the 2nd step is giving me the errors but I don't know 100%.

By the way James I msgd you on Twitter recently & you directed me here to upload the log file. Thanks.

Hi.
This is the log file when I run the first 2 steps manually.

Thanks for your time.

Just to confirm all the npm packages downloaded fine?

[jalagar]

Says Error: Cannot find module 'commander' which means something went wrong with npm i

can you cd into step2 folder then type npm i?

[jalagar]

try rm -rf node_modules and retry npm i

Hey James! Sorry just realized you replied, thanks.

Ok so I tried a fresh start of your Animated Art Engine folder, opened a Command Prompt Terminal in VScode, typed the 1st step : "python -m pip install --upgrade Pillow && pip3 install -r requirements.txt", which seems to go ok as far as I can tell with no problems although it looks like it downgrades the version of Pillow from 9.2.0 to 9.0.1?

Anyways in Terminal I CD'd into "step2_spritesheet_to_generative_sheet" folder manually as you suggested & confirmed I was in that specific folder, then typed "npm i" but still I get errors, looks like the same errors but not 100% sure. The 2 log files I attached are the files it created together when getting these errors.

In the Terminal when I'm in the "step2_spritesheet_to_generative_sheet" folder, I tried typing "rm -rf node_modules" as you suggested but it says "'rm' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file."

I'm using a Command Prompt Terminal in VScode rather than Windows PowerShell because Powershell gave me problems from the beginning with the "&&" command where-as Command Prompt doesn't give that problem.

Bro, would love to get this working, looks so awesome & exactly what we need.

Hm this looks like a Windows issue. I honestly don't have much idea, I don't do much Windows dev. You might be better off trying to google the errors and seeing if you can fix it. It's hard to debug without doing a live coding session.

Or you can DM me on Twitter https://twitter.com/jalagar_eth and we can potentially arrange something where I generate the collection for you (it may have to until October though).

[theShiZa]

Hey James.

yea damn that's my luck for you. I'll try google some errors see how it goes. I appreciate the offer of you generating the collection but i'm set on generating it myself. I'll try any newer versions you release just in case it magically works.

Excellent news James! It's working now!

The problem was I didn't have the "GTK" folder in C:\ root. Downloaded GTK & just extracted the folder to C:\GTK, ran the "make first_time_setup" & all is good. I tried the "make all" command & it generated your gifs in the build folder nicely.

Thanks so much! Can't wait to play with this. I'll watch your video a few more times, so glad you made that video.

[jalagar]

Glad it worked!

What is gtk please bcos I also have this same issue

[jalagar]

@mrjod https://www.gtk.org/ ? try download there?

What is gtk please bcos I also have this same issue

Soz I was away. If you're still looking I downloaded it from the following link, on the right-side just download the ZIP file & extract the files to "C:\GTK" ::

https://archive.org/details/Gtk-bundle_2.22.1-20101229_win64

That is the exact version of GTK I'm currently using.

New update. I try npm i to install and having issue too. I solve it by the following steps:

1. Go to this website and follow the step. Install MSYS2 and then the GTK4 and Python version.
2. In your file, you will see there is mingw64. Copy the whole files and paste in C:. Rename it to GTK. So it becomes C:\GTK
3. Try running npm i in your VSC
4. If it doesn't work, try run npm install harfbuzz (I copy and paste my error to ChatGPT and get this step)
5. Then run npm i again

It works for me.
