ezRa - no module named pkg-resources

[Conrad Cardano]

I tried installing ezRA  on another computer.

I was following Ted Cline's videos, but I got this message.

What did I do wrong.

Means setuptools is missing or broken in your Python environment – pkg_respources provided by setuptools rather than Python itself.

Should I try installing setup tools

[Conrad Cardano]

Where does setup tools come from?

[andrew....@googlemail.com]

Python -m pip install –upgrade setuptools

 

BUT check your Python version first using the instructions in Ted’s installation PDFs – because if you have multiple versions on your computer then you won’t upgrade the required one unless you do it correctly.

 

Other thing to make sure that is your path includes relevant folder paths….

 

…….And that is about as much as I know about Python!!!

 

Help! Anyone!!!

THANK YOU, ANDY

[Conrad Cardano]

Thank you

What worked is  "py -m pip install setuptools" 

[Andrew Thornett]

Glad to hear you have got it sorted now.
