I followed the steps here "Setting up OctoPrint on Windows" and after (venv) C:\OctoPrint> no commands work and I get the error message that it was "unexpected at this time"
What did you already try to solve it?
types all these commands
pip install --no-cache-dir octoprint
or
(venv) C:\OctoPrint>octoprint serve

Additional information about your setup
OctoPrint version, OctoPi version, printer, firmware, browser, operating system, ... as much data as possible
Thanks for your response. As I'd suspected windows 8.1 and especially my 32 bit OS is the problem as your link says
" The minimum requirements to use the Windows Installer are:
64 bit OS
Windows 10 or newer"
I was trying to remove windows from this old Asus X205TA but no matter what I did, was unable to make it read usb bootable Linux (Ubuntu). Guess I have to get a SBD like Raspberry pi
Ah, that's unfortunate, I have been meaning to add 32 bit support to the installer, just haven't gotten around to it yet. Manual install should still work though for you. I think the issue you might be having though is the version you seemed to have installed is quite old. This might be due to using an older python version. If you open a command prompt as administrator and type python --version what is returned?
Well. I've decided to install linux mint on it and remove windows completely. It hasn't been successfull yet issues with wifi connection, "grub-efi-ia32 package failed to install ubuntu" and so on
