tzk init doesn't work for me
cpjobling opened this issue · comments
I have just tried to initialize a new Zettelkasten wiki on my Mac using the instructions provided. Here are my vital statistics:
MacOS Ventura 13.4.1
$python -v
Python 3.9.16 (main, Mar 8 2023, 04:29:44)
$tzk --version
tzk version 0.3.0
$npm --version
9.6.7
$git version
git version 2.41.0
My set up process was
$tzk preflight
You're all set! Change into a directory you want to turn into your tzk repository and run 'tzk init'.
$mkdir my-zettle-kasten
$cd my-zettle-kasten
The error message is:
$tzk init

I'll dig a bit more to see if I can find out what's happening on that last line. But maybe you have seen this before?
If it matters, node, npm, and git are all installed using homebrew. My Python is anacoda3 but installed as a homebrew cask.
Thanks, @sobjornstad. I'll do that. I think that I'll also write up the process that tzk init goes through so that folks can work around it manually. Can I assume that the other tasks that the tzk CLI performs do work?
In the meantime, I used nvm (node version manager) to downgrade my installation of node and tzk init di then work.
Should be fixed in new release 0.4.0.
