Dear Viktor, thank you very much for your answer! I have followed your instruction. After some struggle (I had to change the maximal lenght of PATH of the filesystem), I have been able to install it. Yet, the last command gives me an error:
PS C:\Users\HOMEDIR\PyVE\PyPI\Leo> leo --use-docks leo : The term 'leo' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again. At line:1 char:1 + leo --use-docks + ~~~ + CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (leo:String) [], CommandNotFoundException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException After the change of the maximal path in the filesystem, I have been also able to install leo in Anaconda Prompt (not possible before). However, it does not run. The error I get is: Enter code here...(base) C:\Users\HOMEDIR>python Python 3.7.3 (default, Apr 24 2019, 15:29:51) [MSC v.1915 64 bit (AMD64)] :: Anaconda, Inc. on win32 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import leo >>> leo.run() leoQt.py: can not fully import PyQt5.
