Hi all, I've been struggling through trying to install Arches all day today (historian background, not IT professional!) and I thought I was getting somewhere reaching the point where it told me Arches had been installed (in Windows command prompt) but even our IT support are unable to get very far beyond that. Anyone got any advice? Is there a simpler way? I just wanted to try out the software, not get a degree in coding before I had even seen what it looked like. I tried to run step 7 on the install guide: https://arches.readthedocs.io/en/stable/installation/ but it says you need elasticsearch running. I tried to install elasticsearch from the "easiest way" (dread to think what the hard way looks like) as per below:
The easiest way to install Elasticsearch is to use a command that comes with Arches. Once you have installed Arches (either with pip or from the Arches repo <https://github.com/archesproject/arches>), activate your virtual environment, enter your app/project root directory (the one that contains manage.py), run python manage.py es install Elasticsearch will be installed in the root folder. You can specify an alternate destination for the installation by using the -d argument. For example python manage.py es install -d C:\Projects will result in a new directory C:\Projects\elasticsearch-5.2.1 from which you’ll be able to run Elasticsearch. I tried this and got the following: (ENV) C:\Users\FIMNT\my_project>python manage.py es install Traceback (most recent call last): File "manage.py", line 27, in <module> from django.core.management import execute_from_command_line ImportError: No module named django.core.management Obviously I or the software have done something wrong but I've spent the entire day working like this with every single step having some kind of problem and our IT support service is also struggling to see why it's having so many issues. Anyone able to guide us through in a simpler way, enlighten me past this step and onto the next error or should I give up on Arches now seeing as it's taken me a day and I can't even install it, yet alone set it up or operate it?
