I loved using makehuman on my last PC, but am having trouble getting MakeHuman to run in Windows using python source. (I have python installed on my PC, so the .exe wasn't an option due to library mismatches etc).
I may have made a mistake on the way, so I may be a little verbose but hopefully it'll give as much information as possible. Any help getting started would be wonderful if possible.
Effectively I followed the steps on https://github.com/makehumancommunity/makehuman
- Updated python and pip
- I cloned the makehuman main repository and am on the 10/19/22 push on main `d9d4db7076c63ff39bc63f8bffd7acdcd0689cfe`
- Installed the required extras, and then verified using
- Code: Select all
pip install -r requirements.txt
- Tried to run makehuman.py by navigating to the makehuman folder and calling
- Code: Select all
C:\Users\adamc\Documents\MakeHuman\makehuman
When I do this, I see in my PowerShell:
MakeHuman Copyright (C) 2001-2020 http://www.makehumancommunity.org
This program comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY.
This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it

After that, nothing happens and I'm returned to the regular prompt. I've checked taskmanager etc and nothing related is running in the background etc.
After that, I tried running the "compile_models.py" "compile_targets.py" "compile_proxies.py" "download_assets.py" "download_assets_git.py" and "create_pylint_log.py".
I also tried installing the extras:
- jupyterlab (threw up some angry errors because rust and cargo weren't found when making metadata (both were installed using the exe on rustup.rs)
- qtconsole (installed with no issue)
Each time I call the makehuman.py I get the same result of the intro console text and nothing else.
Thanks so much for reading all this! Any help would be very much appreciated. I apologise for the lack of log files, i haven't got any generated (besides the empty 0kb pylint.log) - presumably as the MakeHuman exits before getting that far?
