Hi all,

I’m stuck at step 9: [DPU Installation | eVOLVER](https://khalil-lab.gitbook.io/evolver/getting-started/software-installation/dpu-installation)

What should I do?

Yeah this is the issue with using Windows for coding. Always more complicated and bespoke.

Just checking did you install python 3.9? Type in the command “py -0” to list all versions

I have both 3.9 and 3.13 on this PC.

I made it one step further by doing the following: open Windows Powershell as admiistrator and prompt this: Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope CurrentUser -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned. Then restarted Powershell and was able to install dependencies from poetry.

However, there was one final error that I don’t understand: (I changed the directory from ‘dpu 2.0.2’ (as downloaded) to just ‘dpu’, but still no change)

I have recently started using the Evolver and remember using this "poetry install --no-root  
" when I had similar issues.
