Getting ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'telethon' about telegram-download-daemon HOT 10 CLOSED

Have you installed the daemon? If you just download and run it probably you are missing some required libraries.

Please, read the paragraph "Installation" in the included Readme.

from telegram-download-daemon.

Looking at your installation log It seems that you need to install MS Visual C++ 14.

Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 is required. Get it with "Build Tools for Visual Studio":

Are you sure you have installed it?

from telegram-download-daemon.

Perhaps Visual C 14 is not in your path, or pip command needs an update.

Try this command:

pip install --upgrade setuptools
And then, execute the install for the telegram-download-daemon again.

from telegram-download-daemon.

I have the same error in termux. Please anybody help

from telegram-download-daemon.

Hi alfem, Hi all.

Thank you so much. Appreciate your advisement.
I did perform the installation before and did it again. After installing the MS Visual C++ 14.0 and run it again. Below is what I got from the installation.

Your python installatin is defective. As you can see it can not download and/or install many required modules.

I suggest you to remove that python and reinstall it again.
