Can't get the install to work

[Aeliffa]

I'm not even at the point of getting arxcode yet. I'm using Evennia's guide (https://www.evennia.com/docs/latest/Howtos/Tutorial-Using-Arxcode.html) to install the forked version of Evennia arxcode uses. The initial clone goes through. I make the evenv virtual environment and activate it. I then do pip install -e evennia as per the git install instructions.

This is where it goes awry. I start to get errors, the most obvious of which is that it encounters an error installing twisted. Ignoring this, I try evennia --init mygame, and I'm given an error. It doesn't recognize the command. I'm still in the evenv.

What am I doing wrong here? Is the guide that's out of date? It is making me pull evennia from https://github.com/TehomCD/evennia.git rather than the normal evennia branch, afterall. I don't know what to do and I'm VERY new to all of this.

When you install packages with pip install, some packages can require different binaries to already be installed on your system, and I think that Twisted is one of them. I don't recall exactly what it needs, but the error message you get when pip install fails will usually give some indication - it might be something like Visual Studio with a C++ compiler or something like that.

Because installing Evennia's dependencies fail, I'm assuming that Evennia bails out and doesn't complete its installation, which causes evennia to not be available as a command.
