Cannot run Hello World Open

Question

I am competing in the HWO2014, yet I cannot run my bot. Here is the build file I was provided with, alongside the run file:

• build:

  #!/bin/bash
  
  virtualenv env --no-site-packages --distribute
  
  source env/bin/activate
  

• run:

  #!/bin/bash
  
  source env/bin/activate
  
  python main.py "$@"
  

However, when I run ./build on the MinGW terminal, the following error is reported:

./build: line 3: virtualenv: command not found
./build: line 5: env/bin/activate: No such file or directory

What does this error mean? How do I prevent it?

Answer 1

You need to install virtualenv on your machine. The run file is a bash script which is saying to go into the newly created virtual environment before running the python script. More info can be found on the official virtualenv docs.
