Trouble installing kolibri on Windows missing pip.exe

Support Kolibri

Hi, I looked a bit in the forum for a similar issue, but didn’t find anything similar, hope I looked enough, please excuse me on the contrary.

I started a pretty normal installation of Kolibri for windows but during the installation setup, I get the following error details :
File: C:\Users\adrie\AppData\Local\spyder-6Scripts\pip.exe was not found.

The thing is, I do have that file in the good folder. I believe it’s a problem with the path entered in the installation script, there is a \ missing between spyder-6 and Scripts. Could the solution possibly be simply editing the installation scipt and correcting this error ?

The Kolibri version I installed is the 0.17.5 and I’m working in windows 10. The browser I use is firefox but not sure it’s relevant in this case.

Thanks for your answers.

Ok, it seems I didn’t really look well. It looks a lot like this. I’ll try this and come back if it doesn’t work

Edit : It doesn’t. Even after installing pip in the two ways they describe there (btw they say it already is istalled) it didn’t change a thing.

And now I followed this proposition to solve a similar problem and executed pip install kolibri basically, this is the errors I have :

Hi @Mamatha_Bandi thank’s a lot for your help.

I actually still experience an issue, after installing anaconda, i executed

pip install kolibri

Which is the way I think I was suppose to install it, but then I got this issue :

ERROR: Could not install packages due to an OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'C:\\Users\\adrie\\AppData\\Local\\Packages\\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.13_qbz5n2kfra8p0\\LocalCache\\local-packages\\Python313\\site-packages\\kolibri\\plugins\\html5_viewer\\static\\kolibri.plugins.html5_viewer.main\\kolibri.plugins.html5_viewer.main-H5PRunner-0.15.1.js'
HINT: This error might have occurred since this system does not have Windows Long Path support enabled. You can find information on how to enable this at https://pip.pypa.io/warnings/enable-long-paths

I’m not sure the tip there is actually the problem, maybe it is, but from what I read on the page referenced, it should be an issue for 32 bits systems no ? I’m in a 64. I’m not sure I get it quite though. How am I supposed to solve this ?

thank’s for your help

Hi @Adehess the commands not much work in windows operating system using WSL(windows operating system for linux) is better option to work kolibri commands.
Thank you.
