Hello, I am getting an error when I try to run the graphing tool. I am still a pretty new coder. Any ideas on how to fix this error? I am using the following script with ipython, as shown on GitHub: “run graphing/src/manage.py runserver.” I made sure the terminal is referencing the correct folder (using “cd” to navigate to the dpu-master folder). The error I am getting is: ![IMG_9837_red](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex035/uploads/evolver/original/1X/9de79c949d99d1b921bcb4e86e3b62c9f0b67ac2.jpeg) ![IMG_9838_red](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex035/uploads/evolver/original/1X/c8e8cdb0d3f417da8d47115bf25db5e5ddd013a4.jpeg) ---

It looks like you’re missing some dependencies. Did you follow the directions in the [readme](https://github.com/FYNCH-BIO/dpu/blob/master/README.md) file for installing everything? Can you show the line in the terminal where you make the call? ---

I followed the readme earlier on and used “py setup.py install,” but perhaps it didn’t stick, so I’ll try it again. I used “run graphing/scr/manager.py runserver” (with ipython) to make the call, and it’s right at the top of the screenshot. I am noticing now that the first part of the readme suggests this script: “py experiment/your\_exptdir/main\_eVOLVER.py” Does this mean that my eVOLVER file should be named “main\_eVOLVER.py”? For experiments, I have been using “py experiment/template/eVOLVER.py --verbose” and keeping files all together in the template folder. I name a new experiment within the “custom script.py” file, and the script sets up a new data collection folder for the new experiment. Is there a better work flow? Thank you for the help. ---

Ah that’s definitely some out of date documentation. I’ll update that soon, thanks for pointing it out. ---

This issue was resolved off-thread - basically attempting to install the dependencies on an anaconda python installation was causing problems. A workaround is to have a separate python installation for running the graphing utility webapp, or use [venv](https://docs.python.org/3/library/venv.html). It is also important to get the versions of the dependencies listed in [requirements.txt](https://github.com/FYNCH-BIO/dpu/blob/master/requirements.txt), especially for django and bokeh. ---

Hello! Hope everyone is doing well. We are setting up the eVOLVER system on a new PC. I hit an error, and I am hoping for help or hints to try. (Note, I have not installed Anaconda yet, simply python.) I followed these steps, based on the Fynch GitHub: - Installed Python 3.8 from the Windows x86-64 executable installer for 64-bit - Download the latest DPU folder from Fynch GitHub and navigated the terminal window to it using “cd” - Installed the dependencies by typing “py setup.py install” Then I got this error message: ![Install Error](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex035/uploads/evolver/original/1X/5d7c14698fdf315a64200eaf90e81b5ddc7cfefa.png) ---

Hi Katie, Can you try running the following, then re-running the setup script: `py -m pip install --upgrade setuptools` Zack ---

Thank you Zack! Daniel got all the errors fixed just now, and now I am up and running! We did use the script you recommended, and also updated bokeh. Katie ---

Hi @heinsz and Team, I went to start a new experiment, and it looks like the socketIO-client was not available. I thought I could retrace our steps by going back and running the setup.py, but I think I somehow broke it, as I am back to the same EasyInstall error as before, except now with the socketIO-client. Can you recommend any more troubleshooting steps for this? I will make a point to document the solution a bit better for other folks (and my future self). Thank you! Katie ---

For my note directly above, here is the error. Any ideas? ![Install Error2](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex035/uploads/evolver/original/1X/4c6f71631e21b6c46e7a3c8e04e595f4f8e27fa6.png) ---

Follow up for future viewers - we resolved this by manually installing bokeh with pip. I created a [github issue](https://github.com/FYNCH-BIO/dpu/issues/54) to find the root cause.
