Hi there! You should be able to use the binaries on the download page as fine without needing to run Python.I’m assuming you may have downloaded the source code package instead. I highly recommend using the built binaries instead of using the source code for the game if you are not comfortable playing the game. On Windows, the executable is NoLove.exe
(the same is for Linux, sans the .exe part; for macOS, run No Love.app
.
If you are deciding to run the game by download the source code, do the following:
- Install Python 3.9; open a command prompt (PowerShell on Windows or Terminal for macOS/Linux) and run
pip3 install pipenv
. - Go to the project’s folder using
cd
. You’ll need to determine the path to there to type it in the terminal. - Run
pipenv install
and then runpipenv run game
to run the game. You must be in the root folder of the game’s source code to make this work.
I hope this helps.
