Unable to run application due to missing gensim package in Windows environment

Issue Description

When trying to run the application in WSL, I'm encountering errors related to a Windows path. The error message shows that the application is looking for packages in my Windows environment (D:\Projects2\PersonalKnowledgeAI) rather than in WSL.

Environment

  • Using WSL with Windows
  • Application path: D:\Projects2\PersonalKnowledgeAI
  • Error related to missing gensim package

Solution

The package needs to be installed in the Windows Python environment, not WSL.

Option 1: Direct installation

Run this command in Windows command prompt or PowerShell:

pip install gensim
Option 2: Using requirements file

If using a virtual environment:

cd D:\Projects2\PersonalKnowledgeAI\api
pip install -r requirements.txt

This should install all the required packages including gensim.

Additional Notes

Since the application is running with Windows paths, installing packages in WSL environment won't resolve the issue.
