Getting Started

[chrisdraws]

I realize this is not part of your tutorial, but I'm trying to start your tutorial.

I'm on windows 10

I've installed Anaconda, which I've never used before.

I've cloned the repo and opened it in an Anaconda prompt.

so I'm at

$ D:\practicalDL

If I run

$ D:\practicalDL>pip install -r requirements.txt

I get a whole bunch of errors

Any advice? I'm not a python person, but I'd really like to do this in python and follow along. I have a strong background in Javascript.

Is the problem Windows10? I guess I'could spin up a VM of unbuntu and try this there, but I was hoping not to have to work that way.

I haven't seen this problem before. But googling it leads to this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/45954528/pip-is-configured-with-locations-that-require-tls-ssl-however-the-ssl-module-in
Please try and let me know if it works. Thanks!

Thanks Vadim. I had already added these three in my PATH. So I tried that already. This is the location that Anaconda wanted to install itself. C:\Users\username\anaconda3 C:\Users\username\anaconda3\Scripts C:\Users\username\anaconda3\Library\bin And I can't get Anaconda to run correctly in regular command prompt or in the Anaconda command prompt. I think I'm going to have to give up on running anaconda and try and run your project directly and install Python locally. Or try to install this in a virtual Linux box.

So i uninstalled and reinstalled to C:\Anaconda, just to see if that was the issue and I allowed anaconda to add the path variables so that they are in the path now. Still not working. In Anaconda prompt I tried running

$ conda update conda

and I get this error

Collecting package metadata (current_repodata.json): failed

CondaHTTPError: HTTP 000 CONNECTION FAILED for url <https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/main/win-64/current_repodata.json>

An HTTP error occurred when trying to retrieve this URL.
HTTP errors are often intermittent, and a simple retry will get you on your way.

this appears to be the solution. Found at the bottom of this long thread.

Removing both libssl-1_1-x64.dll and libcrypto-1_1-x64.dll in C:/Windows/System32/ fixed the problem for me.

pypa/virtualenv#1139

Great! Thank you for letting me know. Hope it will help others if they run into this as well.
