Hello K0onze, great video and straight to the point, my only question is what's the value? difference? between installing it using brew vs github what extra control or benefit do you get? I am just curious to know, thank you again, subscribed and definitely checking what other cool useful videos you have on your channel.

@thuggfrogg Жыл бұрын

Great question... So, the value is not having to me ME right now. I'm currently wondering why the library I just downloaded isn't working, despite having downloaded the dependencies. It's super frustrating, and I've been here many times before. Every time I've sorted out this problem in the past, I was able to continue my project without a problem, so it didn't seem like a big deal. But now, I'm realizing that every time I put down python for a month or I switch the types of projects I'm working on (such as API dev vs data science), then I try to go back to whatever I was doing a month ago, shit's broken. So, you won't see the value of doing this if you're doing it right from the beginning. If you want to experience the pain that lead to the need for environment management, then feel free to go ahead and use your base python environment ;) .

Hi. Great video and and read on the website site as well. I have 2 questions: 1 - I have installed Xcode, but it wasn't by command line. Do I need to install anyway? 2 - In brew install openssl readline sqlite3 xz zlib, is SQLite the database you use? My idea is to use Mysql to learn and do some tests. In that case do I have to change or has nothing to do with it? Thanks

@k0nze_builds 2 жыл бұрын

I'm happy you enjoyed the video Alandson. 1 - XCode installs the command line tools when you installed in with the installer. When you run the command and XCode is already installed it will check that and won't install the command line tools a second time. 2 - SQLite is the standard database that is integrated into Python, it is needed to compile Python from scratch (which pyenv does). Don't change the command otherwise pyenv will will fail. You can install MySQL, MariaDB, Postgres, etc. parallel to SQLite without any issues.

Hi @k0nze, thanks for the great content! I was following this guide (I'm pretty new to everything coding btw), and I got a message on terminal that says "zsh: command not found: code" I know there's bash, zhs and even something called fish (?) but I have no idea what the differences are, which one should I use and how to change between them. Does it mean all I've been doing needs to be redone in bash? I'm so lost 😢 (I do have VS Code installed in my Mac btw)

@joshuanareshmastachimendoz9990 Жыл бұрын

Zsh, Bash and Fish are "shells" (I don't know how to explain what they are, but it's not a big deal). Since the message says "zsh: ..." it means you're using Zsh (which in a lot of things is similar to Bash). The message means it doesn't find a little program called "code" in the PATH (PATH is basically a list of directories in which the system looks for programs or scripts for the terminal). This program calls VSCode to open, so you need to go to VSCode and install "code" in your system so you can call VSCode from the terminal.

Do you have a discord or anything? I seemed to have completely screw my putting and pip on my intel Mac running Monterey. I want Python to recognize Python 3.10 which it currently displays 3.8. I’ve tried everything but I messed something up. When I use pip it shows a location but when I use a pip conman d it says no module found. I tried installing pocketsphinx and since then have been having issues. If you wouldn’t mind helping it would be greatly appreciated. Awesome video!

For anyone who notices that pyenv doesn't change the version output when you run python -V, you need to run pyenv init --path and then open a new shell, then changing the pyenv will change the output of python -V
