Hi There,
I’m running a Windows 7 machine and installed Python 3.6 after installation I did a pip3 install picard_dev
From the error code and a search on Google I could find out that I needed
pip install -U setuptools
pip install -U wheel
This got me indeed further but then I noticed a error: Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 is required. Get it with “Microsoft Visual C++ Build Tools”: http://landinghub.visualstudio.com/visual-cpp-build-tools
after downloading and installing this one I’m stuck at error: command ‘msgfmt’ failed: No such file or directory
Installing gettext from here didn’t help https://mlocati.github.io/articles/gettext-iconv-windows.html
Does anybody have a Idea
Kind regards
Not sure about this, but “msgfmt.exe” is probably not in your %PATH%. Take a look where the gettext executables got installed and add this path to your %PATH% variable.

@outsidecontext is right about the msgfmt.exe not being in your %PATH%, as for build tools, you needed it earlier to build the astrcmp extension, but with picard 2.0 it has been ported purely to python so you should be able to get a dev version up and running without the build tools.

Thanks for the quick answers, it seems that a night sleep for the pc did wonders…
I probably had to reboot for the path becoming visible for python but I’m not quit yet there…

Any thoughts?

It should be available via picard_dev, not hyphen.
sorry I copied a wrong try…
I tried picard_dev,picard-dev and even a picard
C:\Users\Forssman.G>picard_dev

The pip3 install picard_dev also created a second directory
