Acorn is installed to path, but I can't get it to work

[nicklasu]

So I did the global install for acorn using npm install -g acorn, but I still get the following error:

line 250, in assert_dependencies assert is_installed('acorn'), "Acorn is required to parse javascript files " \ AssertionError: Acorn is required to parse javascript files but was not found on the path. Install it from npm and try again.

import code2flow
code2flow.code2flow(r'C:\Users\nikke\Downloads\Netview-system-develop', r'C:\Users\nikke\Downloads\test.png')

My environment is Windows 11 set in Finnish locale, python version 3.11 (installed through Microsoft Store) and npm is version 9.5.1. Acorn is version 8.9.0 (np, package version info was retrieved with npm list -g). Code2flow is version 2.5.1.

Hello,

I had the same issue this morning. Please ensure that acorn is accessible from a simple CLI call : $ acorn
If it's not, then the installation didn't work properly. I used brew as recommended in official documentation. For Windows, you should use scoop.

I am having the same issue. I could not find any solutions. I have tried installing acorn from npm and scoop with no success. This was also done in an elevated Powershell terminal to ensure no privilege issues creating hidden errors. Acorn is accessible from Powershell. All commands and relevant programs work, all PATH variables are set up correctly, and system reboots were done in this process repeatedly. I can't figure out why it isn't being found.

Environment: Windows 10 US English, Python 3.12.1, npm 10.4.0, Powershell 7.4.0, Pip 23.3.2, Code2flow version 2.5.1, Acorn v0.10.0 (from scoop install), Code2flow 2.5.1, and a partridge in a pear tree.

Had the same issue. Solved it with:

curl https://get.acorn.io | sh
