Problem with Running Streamlit

🚀 Deployment
1

I am using Winpython 3.8.5. When I run the streamlit hello, this shows up. Anyone know how to fix this?

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\temp_softwares\WPy64-3850\python-3.8.5.amd64\lib\site-packages\git\__init__.py", line 83, in <module>
    refresh()
  File "C:\temp_softwares\WPy64-3850\python-3.8.5.amd64\lib\site-packages\git\__init__.py", line 73, in refresh
    if not Git.refresh(path=path):
  File "C:\temp_softwares\WPy64-3850\python-3.8.5.amd64\lib\site-packages\git\cmd.py", line 278, in refresh
    raise ImportError(err)
ImportError: Bad git executable.
The git executable must be specified in one of the following ways:
    - be included in your $PATH
    - be set via $GIT_PYTHON_GIT_EXECUTABLE
    - explicitly set via git.refresh()

All git commands will error until this is rectified.

This initial warning can be silenced or aggravated in the future by setting the
$GIT_PYTHON_REFRESH environment variable. Use one of the following values:
    - quiet|q|silence|s|none|n|0: for no warning or exception
    - warn|w|warning|1: for a printed warning
    - error|e|raise|r|2: for a raised exception

Example:
    export GIT_PYTHON_REFRESH=quiet


The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

HI @bbmak, welcome to the Streamlit community!

I’ve never used Winpython before, but I wonder if it’s expecting you to have Git installed but you don’t.

If you open the command prompt and type git, do you get something like this?
