Problem Install Fava on Windows 10 (virtualenv)

[opti...@gmail.com]

Hello. I am attempting to install beancount and fava into a virtualenv on Windows 10.

I was able to successfully get beancount to work with the following:

1. Install python3.7 to C:\python37
2. Open PowerShell
3. mkdir D:\Environments
4. cd D:\Environments
5. virtualenv Finances
6. D:\Environments\Finances\Scripts\activate
7. pip install fava

When I run fava it just returns immediately.

Note:
 - I have tried fava, fava --help, fava --debug, and fava <file>
 - I initially installed beancount and fava from source into the virtualenv using 'pip install -e .' but that exhibited the same behavior as above so I don't think its a source problem.

I also tried
(Finances) D:\Environments\Finances> python
Python 3.7.0 (v3.7.0:1bf9cc5093, Jun 27 2018, 04:59:51) [MSC v.1914 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from fava.application import app

which just returns me to the command prompt.
$LASTEXITCODE in all cases is -1073741819

Here is what was installed.

(Finances) D:\Environments\Finances> pip list

A different case: (Win7 or 10)+cygwin64+python3.6+venv

I tried "pip3 install fava" and "pip3 install --upgrade-strategy only-if-needed fava".

Success install for beancount and fava in any cases. Nevertheless, fava generates an exception when trying to localhost:5000.

Fava is buggy but I don't know if this is the right place for fava issues.

It is.

For all Beancount-related projects this is a perfectly fine venue.

I managed to get this to work today with the following steps (in case it helps anyone).

choco install hg -y

choco install git -y
choco install python -y

choco install microsoft-build-tools -y                      # One of these might not be necessary.
choco install microsoft-visual-cpp-build-tools -y

cp 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\10.0.17763.0\x86\rc.exe' 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\bin\'

cp 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\10.0.17763.0\x86\rcdll.dll' 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\bin\'

py -m pip install --upgrade pip setuptools
py -m pip install virtualenv

hg clone https://bitbucket.org/blais/beancount/ Sources\Beancount
git clone https://github.com/beancount/fava Sources\Fava

virtualenv ./.env
.\.env\Scripts\activate

cd Sources
cd Beancount
pip install python-libmagic
pip install python-magic-bin
pip install -e .

cd ..\Fava\
make
pip install -e .
