Opens and immediately closes

[tristan-mcinnis]

Hey! I'm super excited about the possibility for this note Taking app. I've tried both the cpu version and the CUDA version on Windows 11 and it seems like after the installation, when I try to open them, they open briefly and then they close very quickly.

I'll do a little bit more to see maybe some restarts, maybe some reinstallation to see if there are any issues. but just wanted to raise this here first in case it was something that others are also having.

Sorry about that!
One thing to try is to run it from e.g. PowerShell and watch for any errors that pop off
for example

(base) PS C:\Users\trist> & "C:\Program Files\LocaalNoteTaker\note-taker.exe"

Think this has to do with simple-whisper. I couldn't pip install that eitehr at the moment :)

@tristan-mcinnis are you using the CPU or CUDA version?
it's missing DLLs... so maybe they are not placed in the right place, which i canfix

[tristan-mcinnis]

I've tried both with the same result.

I get the same error, the half a second that the cmd is open I see this error

I am using Windows 10 with:

• git version 2.38.1.windows.1
• Python 3.11.8

I installed it through the installer found in the releases page for note-taker-windows-cuda-0.0.2 and I am using a GeForce GTX 1070.

For the installer version are there any dependencies that must be installed prior to NoteTaker?

Unless I'm confused. This is supposed behavior.
As per the usage instructions in the Readme.md, you never launch the exe.
