Manual BCML Installation - Torphedo/BOTW-ModdingGuide GitHub Wiki

This page covers how to get BCML running if the batch script isn't working for you, or you don't trust it for whatever reason.

-BCML requires Python 3.8.10 or 3.7.9, and the x64 Visual C++ redistributable. When you open the Python installer, there will be a Add Python to PATH checkbox. You MUST check this box, or else BCML can't be installed.

From here, continue as normal, and install the x64 Visual C++ redistributable.

-Open a command prompt anywhere (if you don't know how, just type cmd into Windows Search). Run pip install bcml (in the normal cmd prompt, NOT the python console). If you run it in the python console, it will give you a syntax error. If it says that pip is not a recognized command, this usually means you didn't add Python to PATH, so go back and re-install it. You should see a bunch of progress bars, and then a success message. If it throws lots of errors, make sure you don't have Python 3.9.
