Parabolic: unable to install psutil (windows 10)
Thought I would install Parabolic to my Windows partition as well since I do occasionally use it. It says it’s unable to install psutil and that the program would not work correctly (which i confirmed). I tried to run the exe via the command line but it did not give me any new feedback.

Psutils is a python module that allows you to tap into running processes and control them and their children.
Even though the app is made in C#, we actually embed python and use that to call and run yt-dlp. So the psutil module allows us to tap into yt-dlp and kill it and it’s spawned ffmpeg processes when the user wants to stop a download while it’s running.
I didn’t find an easy way to do this in C# as the built in .NET process library didn’t seem to provide an easy way to do this like psutils tho…I’m going to look for a proper C# solution to remove the use psutils all together.
