[HELP] Installation problems (Windows/Linux)

[MarcoRavich]

Hi there, we would like to use the software to participate in an online restoration / declip competition finally, although we have followed all the instructions, we have not been able to make it work either on Windows or - even worst - on Linux.

Is it possible to implement a step-by-step guide (including all needed - working - components download links) to make it run?

Thanks in advance.

note: we strongly suggest you to check out other Python-based projects (such as @cdgriffith 's FastFlix) to get an "inspiration" on how it should be released for different platforms.

Hope that inspires.

@forart Did you ever manage to get up and running? I've been trying on Debian and Windows here with no success.

I have improved the installation instructions to be more up to date and removed my code's requirements for specific older dependencies' versions. So please test the installation again with the current code and instructions.

[davidhealey]

Oh thanks! I'll give it a try

@Bambam0304 you're on python 3.13, make sure you use the version recommended in the instructions!

[Bambam0304]

Sorry I miss understood the instructions. But I guessed that that would be the problem.
