Centerline trace error Inkscape v 0.92.1 r15371

Asked by oldergeek

After downloading and installing the newest Windows version of Inkscape 0.92.1 r15371 I try to get Centerline trace to work and I get a python error "Error: Cannot import PIL. Try apt-get install python-pil" I have done all of the steps in the centerline_NIH0Rhk%20(2).pdf document. Not being a Python programmer I find it a bit intimidating, but following the instructions only leaves me with more error messages concerning python.

I can't get past the first step "python\python get-pip.py --trusted-host pypi.python.org --ignore-installed " When I execute the first command I get the following: "File "get-pip.py", line 2

SyntaxError: invalid syntax

1. Is Centerline trace installed as a part of the latest release of Inkscape?
2. If not, why do the install instructions not seem to work ?

Centerline trace is a third-party extension. You probably downloaded it from here:
https://github.com/fablabnbg/inkscape-centerline-trace

That is also the place to ask for support - but perhaps just trying again, slowly, and also reading along in this issue:
https://github.com/fablabnbg/inkscape-centerline-trace/issues/15 may already help you.
