Setting up "aqt" and associated packages has been a challenge. Can you write something up about that?

Also, having a requirements.txt file would be useful.

Sorry, I missed this.

Did the instructions:

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Sirupsen/anki-airtable/master/airtable.py \
  -o ~/Library/Application\ Support/Anki/User\ 1/addons/airtable.py
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Sirupsen/anki-airtable/master/settings.example.json \
  -o ~/Library/Application\ Support/Anki/User\ 1/addons/settings.json

Not work for you? It'll sync when booting Anki.

Ah that makes so much more sense now!

I thought one was supposed to run

python airtable.py

Maybe numbered instructions in readme.md would make it more clear?

thanks!

okay I spoke too soon!

I'm hitting a few other errors now:

  1. Do the columns in the airtable have to line up with the deck model used in anki?

The error looks like an error response. Do you have the right API key and APP key configured in the JSON config file?

Do the columns in the airtable have to line up with the deck model used in anki?

You need to create a card, and then it'll create the rest of the fields by itself.

Bump, did you get it to work?

Sorry. Give me a few days; haven't gotten a chance to try it out yet (you can close the bug if you want and I'll reopen it if I encounter the problem again) Thanks!
