Hello. I’ve had quite a time trying to set up picroft. At the moment, I cannot get start-mycroft.sh to complete; it appears it’s stalling while trying to install gTTS.
After giving me a warning about python-coveralls requirement coverage, it proceeds to uninstall pip, no matter what version of pip it is, and install pip-18.0. It then gives me a warning about pip not being up to date. After a line about not finding a pre-commit file with grep, it looks like it starts going through requirements.txt, but it gets stuck on gTTS.
Requirement already satisfied: six==1.10.0 in ./.venv/lib/python3.5/site-packages (from -r requirements (line 1)) (1.10.0)
Collecting requests==2.20.0 (from -r requirements.txt (line 2))
Using cached https://files.pythonhosted.org/packages/...../py3-none-any.whl
Collecting gTTS==2.0.3 (from -r requirements.txt (line 3))
Using cached https://files.pythonhosted.org/packages/..../gTTS-2.0.3.tar.gz
And there it stays. I’ve tried letting it sit for a half hour and it doesn’t resolve.
It does this at boot, and it does this when I ctrl+c to get to the CL and go into mycroft-core and run ./start-mycroft.sh .
Also, when its running from boot, it prints everything twice.
Update: I’ve somewhat temporarily fixed it by commenting out the gTTS line in requirements.txt and installing it separately from the CL. I’ve yet to ever get picroft fully working so I’m not sure if this is a valid work around or not, but it seems like it should be. Once the line for gTTS is commented out, pip is able to go through the whole file fine.
