A: If you're encountering a failure during yarn install due to the absence of the 'distutils' module in Python 3.12, follow these steps to resolve the issue:
Run Our Fix Script:
We have developed a fix script that can automatically detect and resolve potential issues related to this error.
To run the script, execute node setup\fix.js in your terminal.
This script will attempt to rectify the issue and prepare your environment for a successful yarn install
Manually Install 'setuptools':
If you prefer a manual approach or if the script does not resolve the issue, you can install the 'setuptools' module using pip.
Run the command pip install setuptools in your terminal.
Retry Yarn Install:
After applying the fix, run yarn install again in your project directory.
'setuptools' is a collection of enhancements to the Python distutils that allow for easier building and distribution of Python packages, and it should help resolve the missing module issue.
.pnp.cjs File:Check the parent directories of your Omnitool project for a .pnp.cjs file. This file is often found in a /.yarn folder.
Resolve the Conflict:
Option 1: Delete the .pnp.cjs File
If this file is not required for other projects, you can safely delete it.
Be cautious and ensure that removing this file does not affect other projects relying on it.
Option 2: Clone Omnitool in a Different Folder
If the .pnp.cjs file is needed for other projects, consider cloning your Omnitool repository into a different directory where no .pnp.cjs file exists in any parent folders.
Re-Run Omnitool
Run the command sudo rm -rf node_modules in your project's root directory.
This command forcefully removes the existing node_modules directory and all of its contents.
Reinstall Dependencies:
After successfully removing the node_modules directory, run yarn install to reinstall all your project dependencies.
This command will create a new node_modules directory with the correct permissions and all the necessary modules based on your project's package.json and yarn.lock files.
