  • Open an elevated terminal (as admin) and rerun. – cs95 Sep 19 '17 at 00:11
  • Well that was simple.... ;-; – Asad Yamin Sep 19 '17 at 00:13
  • I tried marking this as a dupe, but it turns out this solution is not mentioned there. So, I'll post an answer. – cs95 Sep 19 '17 at 00:15
  • C:\WINDOWS\system32>C:\Users\monke\hangoutsbot\hangupsbot\hangupsbot.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Users\monke\hangoutsbot\hangupsbot\hangupsbot.py", line 2, in import appdirs, argparse, asyncio, gettext, logging, logging.config, os, shutil, signal, sys, time ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'appdirs' ; I'm still getting this problem – Asad Yamin Sep 19 '17 at 00:19
  • What is that error? – cs95 Sep 19 '17 at 00:21
  • I don't know I'm knew to Python.... I was trying to install a googlehangouts bot and run it and then it said appdirs could not be found so I installed it and it stills says it cannot be found... – Asad Yamin Sep 19 '17 at 00:22
  • Now that you've installed it, come out of elevated prompt and run as normal. – cs95 Sep 19 '17 at 00:23
  • I tried in both admin and normal and am still getting the same message instead of a successful installation. Edit: Nevermind, but I'm still getting this error C:\Users\monke>python C:\Users\monke\hangoutsbot\hangupsbot\hangupsbot.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Users\monke\hangoutsbot\hangupsbot\hangupsbot.py", line 4, in import hangups ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'hangups' even though I already cloned the repository... – Asad Yamin Sep 19 '17 at 00:24
