Probably Doing Something Stupid But I can't figure out what.

I am using windows 10
version 13.0.1

I have followed all the windows install steps however I get this error. I installed and reinstalled python to make sure it was added to PATH but I still get this error.

Checking if Segoe UI Emoji is installed
Checking if Segoe UI Symbol is installed.
Checking if prerequisites are installed.
Ensuring the latest FontTools is installed.
Requirement already satisfied: fonttools in c:\users\ironmoon\appdata\roaming\python\python39\site-packages (4.18.1.dev0)

ttx.exe not found, please add Python's Scripts folder to PATH

I believe that happens when you don't restart after installing Python. Check the PATH value https://www.educative.io/edpresso/how-to-add-python-to-path-variable-in-windows

I have restarted my pc multiple times after installing Python. I have attached a screenshot of my path value.

I figured out what I did wrong and completed the installer, however, I don't see the emojis.

It shows up for any emoji that Widows doesn't have by default but the rest are still windows emojis.

What went wrong? How can we make the docs better?

Huh, that's odd. This is the first report I've seen of this occurring. Guessing: Perhaps a Windows update changed something? I generally run Linux, but have a Win10 install on one machine. I can test the install in the next few weeks, thought hopefully someone else has an idea.

i just had to add pip to path lol. Maybe emphasizing the adding to path of pip would help a bit.

Could you expand on "just had to add pip to path"? I have the same path items (..\python39\scripts\ and ..\python39) shown in the screen shot above. Is another required?

Which directory did you add to PATH? I ran into the same issue and it would really help to know this.

Edit: Okay. Adding ..\Python39\Lib\site-packages\pip to the PATH worked.

@Kurty00 Can you submit a PR updating the docs to make that more clear? I want this resolved for others in the future.

I still haven't gotten the windows emojis to not override the twemoji ones like the ss I sent above.

I'm getting the same error even after adding pip to my path. Does it matter where the pip entry is? I tried with and without a \ at the end of pip and made sure to restart several times throughout the process.

Ah, figured it out. FontTools wasn't installed properly. The fix was to delete the fonttools directories under C:\Python39\Lib\site-packages then run pip install fonttools

this is too confusing for me, is there a tutorial on youtube that can explain it better
