Installation on Windows now failing

Seems to be an environment variable issue

amnesia ❯ git init .
Reinitialized existing Git repository in [ Truncated ]
                                                             
amnesia ❯ pip install .
Processing  [ Truncated ]\stickerpicker
  Preparing metadata (setup.py) ... error

Specifically:

          "HOME": os.environ["HOME"],
        File " [ Truncated ]\Python\Python310\lib\os.py", line 680, in __getitem__
          raise KeyError(key) from None
      KeyError: 'HOME'
      [end of output]

Although setting %HOME%=anything has no effect on this error.

hey I was able to actually fix this!

change these two lines in setup.py and get_version.py

get_version.py
"HOME": os.environ["USERPROFILE"],
and
setup.py
long_desc = open("README.md", encoding="utf-8").read()

this fixed it for me

[iraizo]

editing setup.py is required, but with the home env variable you can just type

 $env:HOME = $env:USERPROFILE

beforehand

[Lewko6702]

ah yeah that is a much better solution
