Having trouble with setup.py : set.up py not found

[refrain]

I tried to install ExifToolGUI on Ubuntu and run the setup script from the command line with :

sudo ./setup.py install

[/b]

but what I got was this error message:

sudo: ./setup.py: command not found

[/b]

and when i run the setup script from the command line with

sudo ./install_remove.py install

what I got was this error message:

You have chosen to install pyExiftoolGUI on your system

=======================================================

usage: setup.py [global_opts] cmd1 [cmd1_opts] [cmd2 [cmd2_opts] ...]
   or: setup.py --help [cmd1 cmd2 ...]
   or: setup.py --help-commands
   or: setup.py cmd --help

error: option --install-layout not recognized

=======================================================

But when i checked into the folder where I untarred the pyExifToolGui-x.y.tgz, i found that there is 'setup.py' file. How is this possible? Any guidance? Hope someone help me. Thanks.

Follow the instructions in the included README file to install exiftool.

There is no setup.py

Just to get some clarification, are you talking about pyExifToolGui?  Because ExifToolGUI is a windows program and comes in a zip file.

sudo ./setup.py install

[/b]

there's an error like sudo: ./setup.py: command not found

What should i do then?

Though there are probably some people on this forum that could answer this as well, I think you'd best contact the author of pyExifToolGUI himself.

Edit: I just looked at the install instructions, and if you're trying to install one of the newer versions of the GUI (>=0.32) you will need to use the following command to install:

pyExiftoolGUI >= 0.32: Run the setup script from the command line with

Code Select Expand

sudo ./install_remove.py install
