Unsure how to run

[HarrisonRClark]

Hi,

Please firstly accept my apologies and severe lack of knowledge of tech-related things. I'm probably raising this in the wrong place too as I'm only just exploring GitHub. I'm following the instructions for this tool and struggling to understand step 4.

Run "midi2vjoy -t" to test the code generated by MIDI device. These codes will be used for the configuration, so midi2vjoy know this vjoy axis or button to drive then the MIDI device is used (detail in 2.3).

Where do I run midi2vjoy -t? I have tried running this in CMD but getting a message that midi2vjoy isn't a recognised command. I do have Python installed on my computer but still unsure of how any of that works. I ran the CMD commands while my current directory was set to the root folder of midi2vjoy-master and also the subdirectory midi2vjoy-master/midi2vjoy.

Again, sorry for my ignorance but hopefully it's easy to explain from your end.

Kind regards,
Harrison

Just an update on this, I've also installed pygame now, running "pip show pygame" in cmd returns version 1.9.6.

I think you will need to install midi2vjoy first. Try to go to the midi2vjoy folder and try "python setup.py".

Hello,
You must have Python 3.x installed, and then must run
python setup.py install from within the midi2vjoy folder.

I experienced errors when I had python 2.x also installed, so I removed that, and it all works fine.

maybe Auto PY to EXE could be used to create a standalone exe that the user could run
