Can somebody clarify what happens after the bolded virtualenv venv command. The venv \ Scripts \ pip install -r requirements.txt
returns the following error message:
'venv' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
--- below is the full instruction from desper:
Install Virtualenv by running pip install virtualenv
Download the sent and unzip to the directory C: \ sentinel (you can specify another, but for example here it will be this one)
We execute in the directory C: \ sentinel
virtualenv venv
venv \ Scripts \ pip install -r requirements.txt <--- executing command this shows the result in the venv error message
Editing sentinel.conf by specifying the path to monacoCoin.conf in the monacoCoin_conf parameter.
Create a C: \ sentinel \ sentinel.bat file with the following content:
@echo off
set HOME =.
cd C: \ sentinel
C: \ sentinel \ venv \ Scripts \ python C: \ sentinel \ bin \ sentinel.py
Create a C: \ sentinel \ sentinel.vbs file with the following content:
Install WshShell = CreateObject ("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.Run chr (34) & "C: \ sentinel \ sentinel.bat" & Chr (34), 0
Install WshShell = Nothing
This intermediate vbs-script is needed in order to not open the console window when executing through the task scheduler.
We add the action C: \ sentinel \ sentinel.vbs to the task scheduler (Control Panel -> Administration -> Task Scheduler -> Create Task ...)
Trigger indicate "Daily", repeat the task 1 min.
Have you tried the official sentinel instructions at
https://github.com/monacocoin-net/sentinel ?
I ask as it has a simpler set of instructions to install sentinel and get it working.
The “simpler” set of instruction is for Linux. I am asking for Windows.
Installing Sentinel on Windows
It is assumed that the first steps to install the masterware have already been completed before installing Sentinel.
Download and install Python 2.7.x from here
https://www.python.org/downloads/Add C: \ Python27 and C: \ Python27 \ Scripts to the PATH environment variable. (System Properties -> Environment Variables)
Install PIP -
https://pip.pypa.io/...-to-install-pip.
For this you need to download
https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py and run python get-pip.py in the same directory.
Other ways to install PIP on Windows: http: //stackoverflow...pip-on-windows
Install Virtualenv by running pip install virtualenv
at first do it!!!!!!!!!!Did all of that- doesn’t work. I don’t think the Monoeci team got it to work either. If you could include step-by-step screenshots, that would really help.
I have yet to see a single post from a member who got a Masternode working in Windows, using this instruction to install Sentinel.
So yelling at me won’t make the instructions work.
But thank you for your help. At least you tried.
