[Help] Install Issues-Windows

[y0himba]

Hello. My wife is recently blind, and when I saw this, I literally whooped out loud. I can convert her books to audio! For free or a small donation!

However, I am not very tech savvy, and I am having issues with the install. Got clone fails first, I restore it, then I manually extract the invalid paths (see below) and that gets it cloned and checked out.

Next, I run ebook2audiobook.cmd and get a host of errors. I don't understand any of them. The "Docker" thing is way out of my league. I just want to convert her books to audio for her, easily. It also fails to import unidic saying no module is found.

I have tried to run conda init cmd.exe. I have tried installing pydantic-core, pyee manually, tried running the suggested pip install --force-reinstall --no-deps pydantic-core==2.23.4 but I cannot even activate the vEnv.

please see the screenshots below. Thank you for any help as this is an absolute BOON to my wife and I.

If there is any information I can collect and post to this end, please just let me know? Go easy on me also, I am an old vet and just trying to get some help here.

Had the same problem with cloning on windows try the following inside the folder:

git config core.protectNTFS false

and then what you did:

git restore --source=HEAD :/

There should now be files inside the ebook2audiobook folder and you can go on

It's a bug That's being fixed in the next PR :)

Caused by file naming limitations of windows with con

This is a duplicate of #126

FYI - just stumbled across this today. @titusthef0x workaround worked around it, but a regular checkout on win still seems to fail.

That is the error in my screenshots. It's being worked on, known bug according to above.

Can anyone tell me what to do about the Conda errors in my original post? Please and thank you?

I used PowerShell 7 (x64) as administrator instead of cmd.exe and never ran into those problems. Maybe try that.
