New Python user need help

[Predator4578]

Hi i have never used python before

Now i just want to try out this project if it works with my screen
I installed Python 312 "latest" windows release
i have now no idea how to contiue
https://github.com/mathoudebine/turing-smart-screen-python/wiki/System-monitor-:-how-to-start
here it says
3. Install Python dependencies

NOTE: it is recommended to create and use a Python virtual environment for this project because it needs specific versions of its dependencies. Install required Python modules for this project:
python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt / python.exe -m pip install -r requirements.txt

i have no idea how to use python i entered those commands and i get errors

python.exe -m pip install -r requirements.txt
File "", line 1
python.exe -m pip install -r requirements.txt
^^^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

pls help me

Open CMD (You can press WIN+R, and enter CMD, or search it), open the folder where you decompressed the files with "CD 'folder'" and on this folder, execute "python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt".

try py.exe instead of python.exe

Hi thanks your Answer

i have followed the guide and i get the same error sadly,

when i exclude the GPutil from Requirements.txt it installs everything else Fine

For Nvidia GPU on all platforms

GPUtil~=1.4.0; python_version < "3.12"

GPUtil is broken for Python 3.12+ and not maintained anymore: fetch it from a fork where it is fixed

GPUtil @ git+https://github.com/mathoudebine/[email protected] ; python_version >= "3.12"

but not excluded (Comment out) it errors to instal this dependency

the GPutil i guess is needed for the GPU values, it seem to have a issue now the Fork or whatever

I went now manually to:
https://github.com/mathoudebine/gputil
and there it says i should type "pip install gputil"
wich has worked i think

Hello, I think this is because you do not have Git program installed on your computer. Sorry I missed that in the install guide. You need to download and install Git from here:
https://git-scm.com/download/win
If you just use the command pip install gputil it will install an older version of gputil which is not compatible with latest Python 3.12
Pleas run pip uninstall gputil first to remove the older version, then try to install requirements again from requirements.txt
