Rhino plugin Installation Error: no such option: --python

Rhino Plugin
1

Hi guys

Sorry to revive this post, but I just wanted to install the newest rhino plugin (version 1.18.0), but when I run the installation file, I get this error

I then thought, that I might need to uninstall the current version first, but the I get this error

If I go to the folder it’s looking for, it’s apparent that the folder doesn’t exist on my computer. I only have the pollination_revit folder

Also, as you can see on the second image, I have 2 idle PO.Revit plugins on my computer… So it’s all super messy. I just opened rhino and can conclude that both the rhino and the grasshopper plugins are gone, but PO.Revit still works fine.

Hi, @labrosse - Sorry for the error. Can you share the installer log file with us? You should be able to see the error there. They are under the %TEMP% folder and named as installbuilder_installer_{an integer}.log.

Sure, here you go

I tried a couple of times today, and can see that the logs very, so you’re just getting everything :wink:

Thank you, @labrosse! This the error:

no such option: --python
There has been an error.

Can you run this command from the command line? It looks like for some reason the installer on your machine has an older version of pip.

"C:\Program Files\ladybug_tools\python\python.exe" -m pip --version

Thanks! That is the problem. It should be version 22.3.1.

@mingbo, do you know why this might be happening? I can’t think of a good workaround here because the installer overwrites the Python installation every time. :confused:

Hi, @labrosse - @mingbo pointed out that in your case the pip is loading from the other installed Python under AppData folder. That should not happen but there is a reason that this comic exists! ¯_(ツ)_/¯

In any case, try running this command to update the pip installation, and then try to re-run the Pollination installer. This should resolve the issue for now.

"C:\Program Files\ladybug_tools\python\python.exe" -m pip install --upgrade pip

@mingbo, we should probably use the full path to the pip file in the installer instead of using the python -m pip command.

Thanks guys, that did the charm

Got an error, but I guess it isn’t relevant as the installation worked, right?

Hi @labrosse I have just released a new version of the installer. Would you mind to download and test it on your machine?

Hi @mingbo

Just ran the installation without problems. Thanks!
