README.md Instructions Clarification about glossika-to-anki

Hi, glad to see you're finding this useful. Here's a few links I found that might be relevant:

1. How to change the path on windows
2. Python installation - adding python to the path

If you installed python with the Windows installer it looks like it should be located in C:\Program Files or C:\Users\your_name\AppData\Local. You might also be able to run which python or where python from cmd prompt to figure out where the python executable is located.

I can check later this week on a windows computer if you're having issues getting things to work.

Cheers :)

Hey, thanks for getting back with me so quickly. Sorry it took me a while to get back with you on this issue. I've been a bit busy with the holiday season. My friend and I found the information you provided here to be quite helpful.

However, my friend isn't particularly comfortable with a terminal or command prompt. Specifically, the instructions on using "genanki to generate Anki decks" is where he's running into trouble. Is there a different way that one can go about generating decks outside of using a terminal or command prompt? If not, I can probably guide him through the process despite his apprehension using a terminal emulator (I'm more comfortable with that as opposed to a command prompt myself), but I just wanted to make sure there weren't any other things we could try in his case.

Thanks again for your help, and have a wonderful holiday season!

Unfortunately there isn't a way to generate the decks without using the command line. That said, it's actually pretty easy to use the scripts so hopefully you can walk your friend through the process.
