    Hi People,

    Please help me with the following.

    I'm using Python 3.6. After firing "python setup.py install", I got the following message:

    Found existing installation: certifi 2018.10.15
    Cannot uninstall 'certifi'. It is a distutils installed project and thus we cannot accurately determine which files belong to it whic
    h would lead to only a partial uninstall.

    I don't how to solve this problem. Please help. Thank you so much.

    Hello thanik30!

    Can you explain why you are doing python setup.py install? I've checked Misago docs and guides and couldn't find the place where this is mentioned.

    Sorry, my bad. I meant "pip install misago --pre".

    Have you tried using virtualenv? It was designed to solve problem of clashing dependencies in Python projects:

    virtualenv venv
    source venv/bin/activate
    pip install misago
    

    Alternatively I would run Misago on clean instance.

    I also want to provide easy setup that one can just upload to their server, run setup, answer few basic questions and have site up and running for them without having to meddle in any python things, but there is still few things left to do before I will be releasing that.

    Not sure if you are still interested in Misago, but I've just updated installation process for Misago to be much easier: misago.gitbook.io/docs/setup

    Of course, I'm still interested in Misago. I have been trying to install, but still no luck even though I created a virtual environment and all the tricks that could get online. I will definitely check it out. Thank you so much for letting me know.
