I don’t have any knowledge about computer languages except a simple understanding of Windows. An extension that I would like to use occasionally requires the LibreOffice-script-provider-Python package. Is there an installer that I can run that will insert a “run-time” version of this into LibreOffice 6.1 without me learning Python or UNIX?
You didn’t describe what extension was that; or if you have tried anything to install and run it, or maybe you just have read its description and asking without actually trying?
FYI: Python is included into Windows version of LibreOffice. Of course, it’s possible that the extension needs something more (but the package you mentioned doesn’t mean anything else on Linux), or maybe it hard-codes some strange checks (and then it would be impossible to workaround that), but it’s all unclear based on what info (none) you have provided.
More info please: Name of the extension. Available where. Screenshot of the Error showing the precise message.
Script-providers are running internally. As python is pre-installed usually nothing more necessary. As a shot in the dark I could guess your extension is asking for something from the quite new script-forge Libraries… (Not available in Verson 6)
if you needed it for a specific extension installation, in Linux you need to install it from apt, but in windows, you just need to download the extension and load it the LibreOffice.
