How to install a BOT on Lichess?

IMO -- You should be using 64-bit by default. Don't ever use 32-bit unless you have a specific need (or are managing older 32-bit systems or code that requires 32-bit registers).

@Chesstroll_Ingot #15 in case you have not solved it already, they have made some encoding related changes in Python 3.6 [1] and this leads to the UnicodeDecodeError. It is a bug in the python package manager.

In order to solve this problem, upgrade pip to version 10:

python -m pip install --upgrade pip

Then run 'python -m pip install -r "path\to\requirements.txt"' again.

[1] docs.python.org/3/whatsnew/3.6.html#pep-528-change-windows-console-encoding-to-utf-8

@nh78, I upgraded after I got those errors, and now if I try to do that command again (install things from requirements), it says "Fatal error in launcher:"

OK, something went wrong here i guess.

Uninstall python, also remove the directories the installation created, and install python again.

then run the "python -m pip install --upgrade pip" command before you proceed like you did before.

Good luck! :-)

@relevantproblem

yes in general
"python -m pip install ..."
is safer than doing
"pip install ..."
directly, see eg the first answer to github.com/pypa/pip/issues/5109

Now it seem to be done, thank you!

nice to hear that!

Thank you, @relevantproblem and @nh78 for your help! I did this! :)))

There seems to be some sort of bug here. Has anyone successfully passed number of threads from the config file?
