Install failed

Dear Michele.

I tried to install pdf-renamer, but without success.

I have the newest Python version on Windows 11.

Install log attached.

Thanks. This is due to an this issue with the installation of pdf2doi MicheleCotrufo/pdf2doi#28.

Try the following.

• Install pymupdf via the command pip install pymupdf
• Try to install again pdfrenamer.

You might get a warning saying that the version of pymupdf that you have installed is not the right one. You can ignore it, it should work anyway.

I'm also having this error, both pdf2bib and pdf2doi require pymupdf==1.21.0. Then (I guess) pip tries to build it from source but fails:

      PyMuPDF/setup.py: mupdf_local='mupdf-1.21.0-source/'
      PyMuPDF/setup.py: Building mupdf.
      PyMuPDF/setup.py: Building MuPDF by running: cd mupdf-1.21.0-source/&&"C:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio/2019\Community\Common7\IDE\devenv.com" platform/win32/mupdf.sln /Build "ReleaseTesseract|x64" /Project mupdf

      Microsoft Visual Studio 2019 Version 16.11.38.

      The operation could not be completed. The parameter is incorrect.

Edit: as a workaround I've installed an old version of Python (3.9) on a VM (having multiple versions on the same machine is a pain in my experience). Hope pdf-renamer could be updated for using it with the latest Python versions.
