Error when trying to launch the app

I tried to run it on a mac, but got error message like this. Any ideas? Thanks!

Traceback (most recent call last):

Hmm that's strange, sorry about that. Can you type this into your terminal and post what it prints out?
$ which dtaledesktop_open_browser

In the meantime, I think a workaround might be to run it like this:
$ DTALEDESKTOP_DISABLE_OPEN_BROWSER=true dtaledesktop

That environment variable prevents the 'open_browser' subprocess from running on startup. You'll just need to grab the URL from the INFO: Uvicorn running on <url> (Press CTRL+C to quit) line that gets printed to the console and then paste it into your browser.

Thanks for fast reply!
$ which dtaledesktop_open_browser
returns nothing,
$ DTALEDESKTOP_DISABLE_OPEN_BROWSER=true dtaledesktop
returns
-bash: dtaledesktop: command not found
and if open python and import the module to run, it will show the above error.
It seems I installed successfully, let me try reinstall it.

Hm okay :/ it may be worth looking at some of the answers here, since it seems like your issue is that it can't find any of the executables: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/35898734/pip-installs-packages-successfully-but-executables-not-found-from-command-line

Does $ which python return anything?

[robin2010liu]

It looks like the executable is installed in a folder which is not in the 'PATH'. I moved the executables to /usr/local/bin and it worked. Thanks for your help! Great work!

Oh awesome! And no problem :) I'll close this one out in that case
