windows: install does not work at all for me

[pinkjimrussiagirl]

i downloaded all the stuff for the font and uncompressed it, but when i go to install it, it just says ttx.exe is not found

please help me fix this from happening otherwise i will have to install the sf pro font (ios font) and use that instead

same problem !

@ynot01 since you have the PATHS set up correctly, it looks like you just need to re-install fontTools (since it says it found it installed, but maybe not correctly).
Go to your C:\python39\Lib\site-packages and delete the fontTools folder.
Then run pip install fonttools in cmd and you should have ttx.exe in your scripts folder.

@pinkjimrussiagirl similar to above.
You need to first make your Scripts folder is in PATH. Follow the video instructions here: https://realpython.com/add-python-to-path/#how-to-add-python-to-path-on-windows
Then run the command above to install fontTools and try the twemoji installer again.

I had the same issue. Despite telling Python to add itself to path, it hadn't added itself to path.

To resolve it, I added to to my user & system paths as follows:

Start bar
Type in environment

Clicked on "edit the system environment variables".
Clicked on "Environment Variables"
Under both "User variables for [my name]" & "System variables", I clicked on "PATH", "Edit", "New", then added the following:

%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python311\Scripts

After rebooting, the script starting working.
