Hi Alexei, I'm afraid I've been really rude and not really introduced myself yet; I had hoped to get Arches up and running first of all. Anyway, I'm Bryan Alvey, a developer in London; and I have links with both Historic England and UCL.
I'm trying to set up Arches on a windows 64bit platform on Google Cloud. I've installed the environment correctly, I think, with the relevant dependencies. Running from an administrator's command window, everything is fine until the command line: pip install arches I've followed your new instructions to the letter, but I keep getting the error messages: *could not open requirements file:no such file or directory'c:\\MyDirectory\\ENV\\Lib\\site-packages\\arches\\install\\requirements.txt'c:\MyDirectory\ENV\Lib\site-packages\arches\install\django_overrides\base.pyno such file or directoryFailed building wheel for archesFailed to build archesRunning setup.py install for archessuccessfully installed arcs-3.03* Both files by the way are clearly there! What am I doing wrong?
