CounterFit installation issue

[anilkeshaw]

Hi,

I'm trying to set up the CounterFit app however, getting the following error, and unable to proceed. I'm not sure if this is something related to the packages or python version it doesn't support.

Could you please see the below error snapshot and advise.

OS: Windows 10
Python Version : 3.11

(.venv) PS C:\nightlight> pip install CounterFit

DEPRECATION: lxml is being installed using the legacy 'setup.py install' method, because it does not have a 'pyproject.toml' and the 'wheel' package is not installed. pip 23.1 will enforce this behaviour change. A possible replacement is to enable the '--use-pep517' option. Discussion can be found at pypa/pip#8559

Thanks

Looks like on Windows you need to install libxml2. I've updated the README with instructions on how to do it, as well as updating CounterFit to have a dependency on a later version of this library.

Essentially:

1. Download the wheel for lxml 4.9 from the Unofficial Windows Binaries for Python Extension Packages page
2. Manually install this downloaded wheel with pip
3. Install CounterFit as before

Let me know if the new steps work.

Windows: 10
Python Version: Python 3.7.9

The solution didn't work for me. I tried to install different versions but still got the same error. See the error message below

pip install lxml-4.9.0-cp39-cp39-win_amd64.whl
ERROR: lxml-4.9.0-cp39-cp39-win_amd64.whl is not a supported wheel on this platform.

Hi, I had a similar problem. I first installed the eventlet package from pip and it worked fine. CounterFit will give you some errors regarding the eventlet version, you can simply ignore it.

[jimbobbennett]

@tosinosu - can you try with the latest version. I've removed the dependency on libxml
