Not able to run Yotta

I tried the yotta windows installer but it is not able to run yt init after going through run yotta.bat i observed that it is lookig for <yotta_install_location>/workspace/scripts/activate however no such location exists . Is there a problem with installer

Hello:
I have the same problem.
When I want to run yotta, get the following message:
“The system can not find the path specified”
one mistake capturadel is attached.
What I can do?
Thank you very much
Carlos

Hey, use these steps to get yotta working:
So the steps are:

  1. Download yotta installer. Ref.: yotta Documentation - yotta
  2. Install all features except mbed-serial for now.
  3. Install python that comes with that.
  4. Open Environment variables in windows.
  5. In “YOTTA_PATH”, put path of all files that you have in your yotta folder. example:

C:\yotta;C:\yotta\gcc\bin;C:\yotta\python;C:\yotta\python\Scripts;C:\yotta\cmake-3.4.0-rc3-win32-x86\bin

6.In “YOTTA_INSTALL_PATH” , put:

C:\yotta if your yotta folder is in C

7.In “PATH” append it as:

C:\yotta\mercurial;C:\yotta\python;C:\yotta and so on.

8.Now refresh and click on “RUN YOTTA” shortcut formed on your screen. It works.

I confirmed the steps by installing yotta 3-4 times. It works every time :slight_smile:
I’ll soon post a video of all the steps on youtube.com. Hope this helps.

Hi,

I have the same issue, the “yotta” command doesn’t do anything in the “RUN YOTTA” console. Digging a bit more, the problem is in the pip_install_yotta command. It fails to find some file. Here is the output of the command (sorry for the long post)

c:\yotta>pip install virtualenv
You are using pip version 7.0.1, however version 8.1.2 is available.
You should consider upgrading via the 'pip install --upgrade pip' command.
Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): virtualenv in d:\yotta\python\lib\site-packages

c:\yotta>cd c:\yotta

c:\yotta>virtualenv --system-site-packages workspace
New python executable in c:\yotta\workspace\Scripts\python.exe
Installing setuptools, pip, wheel...done.

c:\yotta>cmd /K "c:\yotta\workspace\Scripts\activate & pip install -I -U pip & pip install -I -U yotta & exit"

Is it possible that the install is not finding a compiler or something? (running on Windows 10)

UPDATE: found that running “pip install yotta” to install in the global location instead of the virtualenv just works.
