Hello @Suleman-Elahi. Sorry to hear that :(
I don't have a Windows machine to test it.
Can you please check that amazon2csv is in your <python_directory>/Scripts?
Check also that this folder is in your PATH.

Just wanted to bump this issue as I have the same problem on Windows 10.

Answer 3 · 2018-06-12T03:50:08.000Z

Yeah. The scripts folder is in the path but the actual problem is that it creates the binary file for Linux or MAC I think. Ideally, on Windows, it should create "amazon2csv.exe" file in the "Scripts" folder.

I'm not sure that it is a binary file, could you please check with an editor?
What is written at the top 3-4 lines?
Could you add a .py extension to the file, and check again the execution in your command prompt?
Thank you, your help is greatly appreciated @Suleman-Elahi

The contents of the "amazon2csv" file are:

And after running it with ".py" extension , following happens.

That's weird. I am currently building a Windows VM to reproduce this issue and try to fix it. I'll let you know @Suleman-Elahi and @ReedJessen

Hello,
I renamed amazon2csv to amazon2csv.py, and updated the pip package accordingly.
Could you upgrade and test on Windows?

pip3 install --no-cache-dir -U amazonscraper
amazon2csv.py --keywords="Python programming" --maxproductnb=2

Answer 8 · 2018-06-15T17:05:54.000Z

I tested on Windows today, and that worked properly.

Recap :

make sure <python_directory>/Scripts is in your PATH
execute amazon2csv.py --help in a cmd window to check

Hi Tilbault. My issue may related to this one. It seems executing, but no output? can you help?

Hello @davidliu1978
That is still difficult for me to reproduce it since I don't have a Windows host.
Could you try to execute this?

python3 amazon2csv.py --help

@davidliu1978 Have you tried to install amazon2csv with pip3 install -U amazonscraper?
