The toolset must be the most intimidating and scary element for new language learners. I would DREAD having to do a "basic setup from 0" for Japanese again nowadays, getting the sentence mining workflow etc. What a nightmare its become
I totally agree! While there are several companies trying to make it easier/faster (LingQ, LingoPie, Language Reactor), those tools aren't "complete" and cost money. My goal is to make it possible (if not easy) for people to find the best tools for them. There's still a lot of work to be done on that, though. It's still scary to even get started. Hopefully your setup is nice and streamlined and serves you well. - Ben
Thanks for the walkthrough, Ben! I'm semi-competent in installing/using tools, but Python's always been a step above my paygrade, so this was very helpful. Oh, also, I went the route of downloading direct from the Python site, and in the installation if you hit 'custom installation' you can check a box to include PIP as well. Anyway, thanks again! Now I'm all set up for LUTE 👍
Prominent? Pretty much nothing. But lots of smaller tools make use of these. Such as vocabsieve, Whisper, Lute (like you mentioned). There are also lots of "smaller" tools that people make on their own, and they're very likely to rely on something like this. I also just wanted to make a video that had this information so that I could just link to it in future videos if needed. - Ben
Hi, I don't use Windows, so I can't *really* help, but I asked ChatGPT and this is what it says: To completely remove Chocolatey and start fresh, you'll need to follow these steps: 1. **Uninstall Chocolatey:** Chocolatey doesn't have a built-in uninstaller, so you'll need to do this manually. Open Command Prompt as Administrator and run the following command: ```cmd rd /s /q C:\ProgramData\chocolatey ``` This command deletes the Chocolatey directory, which is typically located at `C:\ProgramData\chocolatey`. Note that if you installed Chocolatey in a custom location, you should replace `C:\ProgramData\chocolatey` with your specific path. 2. **Remove Environment Variables:** Chocolatey adds some environment variables to your system. To remove them: - Open the Start Search, type in "env", and choose "Edit the system environment variables". - In the System Properties window, click on the "Environment Variables" button. - Under "System variables" and "User variables", look for any variables related to Chocolatey (like `CHOCOLATEYINSTALL`) and remove them. - Click OK to close each window. 3. **Check Your Path:** Chocolatey might have added itself to your system's PATH. You should remove these references: - In the same "Environment Variables" window, under both "User variables" and "System variables", find the variable named `Path`. - Edit each `Path` variable, look for any references to Chocolatey (like any path that includes `C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\bin`), and remove them. - Click OK to save your changes and exit out of the environment variables and system properties windows. 4. **Check for Remaining Files and Folders:** After doing the above steps, check if there are any leftover files or folders in `C:\ProgramData\chocolatey` or the custom location where Chocolatey was installed. If there are, delete them. 5. **Restart Your Computer:** After completing these steps, it's a good idea to restart your computer to ensure all changes take effect. 6. **Verify Removal:** Once your computer restarts, open Command Prompt and type `choco` or `chocolatey`. If you receive a message saying these commands are not recognized, it indicates Chocolatey has been successfully removed. 7. **Reinstall Chocolatey (Optional):** If you're planning to reinstall Chocolatey, ensure you follow the official installation instructions from the Chocolatey website. By following these steps, you should be able to completely remove Chocolatey from your system and start over with a clean slate. Sorry I can't be of more help! - Ben

Thank you for explaining how to download everything! I was struggling a bit, but now I'm all set up. Appreciate the detailed walkthrough!

Glad it was helpful! Enjoy Lute!

Where on the discord can I ask?, since I have problems with the installation (I speak Spanish)
What prominent language learning tools need these tools? I'm only aware of LUTE needing it
Prominent? Pretty much nothing.
But lots of smaller tools make use of these. Such as vocabsieve, Whisper, Lute (like you mentioned).

Makes sense. Very helpful through!
My first attempt to install Chocolately failed, and now I need to remove it. How do i remove the existing installation manually?
Hi, I don't use Windows, so I can't *really* help, but I asked ChatGPT and this is what it says:
To completely remove Chocolatey and start fresh, you'll need to follow these steps:
1. **Uninstall Chocolatey:** Chocolatey doesn't have a built-in uninstaller, so you'll need to do this manually. Open Command Prompt as Administrator and run the following command:

- Open the Start Search, type in "env", and choose "Edit the system environment variables".
- In the System Properties window, click on the "Environment Variables" button.
- Under "System variables" and "User variables", look for any variables related to Chocolatey (like `CHOCOLATEYINSTALL`) and remove them.
- Click OK to close each window.
3. **Check Your Path:** Chocolatey might have added itself to your system's PATH. You should remove these references:
- In the same "Environment Variables" window, under both "User variables" and "System variables", find the variable named `Path`.
- Edit each `Path` variable, look for any references to Chocolatey (like any path that includes `C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\bin`), and remove them.
- Click OK to save your changes and exit out of the environment variables and system properties windows.
4. **Check for Remaining Files and Folders:** After doing the above steps, check if there are any leftover files or folders in `C:\ProgramData\chocolatey` or the custom location where Chocolatey was installed. If there are, delete them.
