Not installing

[RobinMaub]

Hello all,

I have installed Graphviz and now try to install wireviz but when I type "pip3 install wireviz" it opens the script but does not launch it on Windows 10. Is there any issue in the current pypi package ?

Thanks in advance

@RobinMaub - Thank's for reporting this unexpected behaviour. Can you provide a dump from your command shell screen, showing commands you try and their output? Have your tried installing it in a virtual environment, e.g. like I show below? Please try something like this:

C:\>mkdir \Repos\test2

C:\>cd \Repos\test2

C:\Repos\test2>python3 -m venv .venv

C:\Repos\test2>call .venv/Scripts/activate.bat

(.venv) C:\Repos\test2>pip install wireviz

Dear Robin,

thank you for writing in.

when I type "pip3 install wireviz" it opens the script but does not launch it on Windows 10

Can you further clarify what this means? For example, can you share any error message with us, or any command line invocations which lead to this problem?

With kind regards,
Andreas.
