Problem installing Plone on windows 7

VCgirtNT · January 31, 2017, 12:49am

I got this error when trying to install latest Plone on windows 7 machine locally:

An internal error occurred due to a bug in either zc.buildout or in a

Any way to fix this?
Thanks!

I wonder if you installed the Python as described at https://github.com/plone/simple-plone-buildout/blob/5.0.6/README.rst#using-windows

vangheem · January 31, 2017, 2:57am

Looks like you're installing with Python 3. Plone uses Python 2.7.

If you use the windows installer, I think it installs a compatible Python for you. I've never tried installing on windows though.

The easiest way to get up and running is probably with the vagrant install though.

tkimnguyen · January 31, 2017, 3:16am

The process above was the simple buildout, which we recommend for Windows; there isn't a Windows installer at the moment. But yeah it seemed like it was the wrong Python version.

VCgirtNT · January 31, 2017, 11:00am

Thanks for fast reply!
I didn't know python 3 doesn't support older version. I installed obsolete 2.7 version and now the buildout started working but ended with another error:

Did i miss something else? I have tried to follow the guide on git you pointed,. maybe its the windows problem?

vangheem · January 31, 2017, 11:18am

Try running the command again? Maybe you had a intermittent network issue when downloading? It should find the package just fine from pypi: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/sixfeetup.customfolderalert/1.3

Hmm, i tried to run it few more times but now it gives only short output:

I can access the link you posted just fine. Should i try to download the file manually and place it to, eh, somewhere..?

tkimnguyen · February 18, 2017, 9:52pm

No, just re-run buildout in case there was a temporary network problem preventing your computer from retrieving that egg (it does happen on occasion).

That missing egg (sixfeetup.customfolderalert) is probably not something you need, so you could also remove it from your buildout.cfg.
