Deprecated Darkstar fourms

Well that is certainly interesting... going to need to see what that is about. Lets start with uninstalling and reinstalling

Yeah this is something new I’ve never seen. Always something with windows...

Okay. I thought I kept following the right way but I keep constantly getting syntax errors: invalid syntax. I've tried moving and doing different things but I am just completely at a loss....

Ugh I just really want to try to get this to work as it seems so BA! But I am just not understanding most of this I guess -_-;

That error suggests to me you’ve used python2 instead of python3.

Hmm. Ok I'll check it out but I could've sworn I was and did get rid of all other versions of python (other than anaconda). Thanks!

Wait, we are supposed to be using python3? The directions specifically say to use python2, dont they?

Step 1: Install Python¶
GOTCHA: Make sure you use Python version 3!

Okay. So, I have uninstalled all the python 2 before...but I did notice there seems to be a lot of python 2 inside of anaconda...is that what might be confusing the files?

On the download page of anaconda there should be links to anaconda with python 2.7 and anaconda with python 3.6. Make sure you choose the one with 3.6.

Some ways to check what’s going on...

1) Open a normal terminal and type: python —version
2) Open an anaconda command prompt and type: python —version

Hopefully those two methods give the same answer. If not, you may have multiple pythons installed on your system - which tends to cause issues. It only gets more complicated from here...

3) Open explorer and navigate to: %AppData%, go up one folder, and then go into the Local\Continuum folder. There should be a folder named anaconda3 here. For example: C:\Users\User-Name\AppData\Local\Continuum\Anaconda3

4) Confirm there isn’t a directory such as C:\Python*, etc. That should not be the case if you’ve only ever installed anaconda.

And as a last resort...

Remove all python installations you can find in the uninstall programs dialogue. Delete C:\Python* if it exists. If you still see anaconda in AppData, find its uninstall.exe and run it. Finally, run something like the registry cleaner of CCleaner a few times. Also remove any paths that have the word python or anaconda in them from your system environment variables.

— or —

Just use Linux and everything magically works perfectly.

OK so I got up to 3 and I have no Continuum folder.....

Also it was reading my python ver as 2.7
