[Makefile:4: first_time_setup] Error 1 - The system cannot find the path specified.

I am not familiar with code, been trying to follow instructions but it seems for me the cd command in makefile
[cd ./step2_spritesheet_to_generative_sheet; npm i] doesn't seem to work to move up one directory for step2 and which is why make step commands don't work either + for step3 since there is no cd command, it runs but returns this error [imageio module not found]

PS D:\artengine\Generative_Gif_Engine-main\Generative_Gif_Engine-main> make step3
python3 ./step3_generative_sheet_to_gif/build.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "D:\artengine\Generative_Gif_Engine-main\Generative_Gif_Engine-main\step3_generative_sheet_to_gif\build.py", line 4, in
import imageio
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'imageio'
make: *** [Makefile:19: step3] Error 1

Any help please? thanks!

I am now able to run all 3 steps individually, adding the python scripts dir to the path env variables fixed the imageio 'module not found' error.. though still not able to run makeall as it returns an error unable to move into the folder with cd command but I think that's not a prob now that I am able to run one step at a time. Testing out all 3 steps now with my own artwork. Thanks!

Hi @bxbxyxgx glad you were able to figure it out! I have seen a few people on Windows face that issue. Can you try edit the Makefile to be cd step2_spritesheet_to_generative_sheet; npm i without the ./ and see if that fixes it? Try play around with the Makefile aliased commands, that is what controls the make step2.

Thanks ! Oh that's unfortunate, thought that won't be much of a problem since there is a code based on this one that generates tezos metadata.. like I said not at all familiar with code so didn't realize it's not that simple, and so far I have only found your version to be what I needed. I will head there to create an issue, would be great if you can look into it.. or maybe nudge me in the right direction for this? Was hoping to get everything done through the weekend but looks like that won't be the case lol also, thanks for your time! much appreciated!

And you tried copying and pasting each line individually? I'll have a video in a few days that hopefully can help.

yes, video should help

@bxbxyxgx are you using Windows? Do you know why his file paths are \ and also /? Super weird
