[hykilpikonna]

Oh sorry, I forgot to add psutil to the list of dependencies 😢

I just added psutil dependency for windows-specific users in commit a8352d1.

Can you try python -m hyfetch again after installing psutil with pip install psutil?

[comradef191]

Updated repo and installed psutil,

Command Prompt
Terminal outputs cmd.exe doesn't support RGB colors, restarting in MinTTY...; Window briefly pops up before closing

[hykilpikonna]

Hmm... exit code 127 probably means that bash was launched but it can't find /c/Users/f191/Desktop/hyfetch/hyfetch/scripts/neowofetch

Oh right, hyfetch/hyfetch/scripts/neowofetch is actually symbolically linked to ../../neofetch, but windows doesn't support symbolic links, so it created a text file containing the path instead.

I don't know how to detect regular files that are supposed to be symbolic links in python yet, so I'll hard-code the link for now:

This should work, can you pull the latest repo and try again?

[comradef191]

WhooaAH Doesnt break with an error now but holy FUCK
colours are just
broke.

[comradef191]

oh hey you can actually complete the entire thing

holy fuck this is cursed lmao

[hykilpikonna]

Lol that's so weird

I'll look into this on a Windows 10 vm tomorrow

[slackingfred]

I am also unable to run it on Windows (11, 22621.819).
It exits with ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'termios'

[leohearts]

same error with @slackingfred .

• OS: Python 3.11.0
• OS Version: Windows 10.0.22000 N/A Build 22000
• pip 22.3

same error with @slackingfred .

Thanks for reporting the issue! Should be fixed now.

[slackingfred]

It still doesn't run, either on Windows Terminal or Git Bash.

The error has changed, though: subprocess.CalledProcessError: Command '[WindowsPath('C:/Program Files/Git/bin/bash.exe'), '-c', '/c/Users/<redacted>/AppData/Local/Packages/PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.8_qbz5n2kfra8p0/LocalCache/local-packages/Python38/site-packages/neofetch print_ascii']' returned non-zero exit status 127.

Looks like the installation script didn't create the directory structure expected by neofetch_util.

127 means command not found or not executable... is your git bash installed at C:/Program Files/Git/bin/bash.exe?

[hykilpikonna]

Or can you check if /c/Users/<redacted>/AppData/Local/Packages/PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.8_qbz5n2kfra8p0/LocalCache/local-packages/Python38/site-packages/neofetch exists and is executable? Thanks

Git Bash is at C:/Program Files/Git/bin/bash.exe, but neofetch script does not exist.

There are two neowofetch files found, but they both point to ../../neofetch which is nonexistent:

%localappdata%/Packages/PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.8_qbz5n2kfra8p0/LocalCache/local-packages/Python38/Scripts/neowofetch
%localappdata%/Packages/PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.8_qbz5n2kfra8p0/LocalCache/local-packages/Python38/site-packages/hyfetch/scripts/neowofetch

Looks like the setup script is somewhat incompatible with Store-installed Python...

As it turns out, different versions/implementations of python package/install script files to different locations (as reported in #84 where their installed version expanded the symlink). I've added multiple checks and hope they should cover all possible paths.
