install_apps.py Not installing the apps in the emulator.

Iam using python 2.5

when i try to run install_apps.py it immediately opens a terminal window and closes instantly.

no success message, no progress bars.

apps arent shown in the emulator either.

how can i fix this ?

environment details:

windows 10.

clover flex 2md gen

had a problem with add-account -> clover , it was showing [stg] instead of [dev] so i looked at other threads in the forum and fixed it by downgrading the apk version of the clover engine to 2086.apk.

This should be fixed, but we haven't updated the link yet, try downloading:

after installing 2086 it worked, now I can create the clover account in the emulator.

but the real problem is with running the python script to install the apps as I mentioned in the question body above.

"Iam using python 2.5"

https://docs.clover.com/docs/setting-up-an-android-emulator#installing-required-clover-merchant-apps

In this setup step, all Clover apps for merchants (such as Register, Orders, and Inventory) are installed by running a Python script. This script requires Python v3.5 or higher. Any of your apps installed to the test merchant you select will also be installed.

I believe I just answered your question. You said you are using Python 2.5, our documentation clearly states that Python 3.5 or higher is required..

Your script isnt working on python 3, Its only working on python 2.7.

The script isnt working on windows. had to manually change the script code to make it work in windows.

@David Marginian

I'm having issues with the same problem; can you please direct me to a solution? I downgraded the apk version which helped me to create a clover account (2191 didn't work for me), but I'm still having the same issue running the install_apps.py script.

With Python 3.11, it immediately opens a terminal window and closes instantly, as the OP pointed out.

With Python 2.7, it complains about the Python version. I'm trying to fix the script but please let me know how to fix it or if there's another workaround

make sure you use the pip3 and python3 commands to install the required modules and run the script. urllib3 is a required module for the script.

This is not how you execute a python script though :)


Do this instead:

on a Mac:

(python3 should already be installed)

python3 install_apps.py


on Windows:

Make sure you have installed python 3.

python install_apps.py



And could the maintainer of the clover doc update this please?
