Win11 Livekit Server - ImportError: cannot import name 'api' from 'livekit' (unknown location)

[macazaga]

Describe the bug
After following the guide for 01 in Windows I runned the command:
poetry run 01 --server livekit --qr --expose

And powershell / cmd shows the following:
Using python3.11 (3.11.9)
⠴ Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
File "C:\Users\maca1\Miniconda3\Lib\importlib_init_.py", line 90, in import_module

Screenshots

Desktop:

• OS: Windows 11
• Python Version: 3.11.9

Additional context
I also tried running the light server:
poetry run 01 --server light

And returns the same error.

Hey @macazaga! We're working on better Windows docs, let me know if this is helpful: https://01.openinterpreter.com/software/server/windows-livekit

You might want to try poetry env remove 3.11 then run poetry install again — that has fixed this specific error for me before.

Hi @KillianLucas , thank you for your response! I honestly felt like I got a message from a celebrity. Congrats on this incredible project!

I followed the steps you shared and now I've a different error.
The ngrok agent is visible in the dashboard:

but this happens when I run the command line:
poetry run 01 --server livekit --qr --expose

Starting light server (required for livekit server) on localhost, on the port before --server-port (port 10100), unless the AN_OPEN_PORT env var is set.
The livekit server will be started on port 10101.

The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.
