I'm on Windows 10. I tried to install archivebox from pip, but after I did "npm install --prefix . 'git+https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox.git'", and did archivebox init, it gave a "File Not Found" Error

The latest v0.5 release isn't really fully stable on Windows 10 yet, but it should work at least to init.

Can you post the output of running archivebox version on Windows 10

No, no, I already fixed it (I didn't have a dependency). However, every
time I try to archive something, it gives me a Server 500 error. I tried
everything to fix it.

Though just a request: could you make it so that on every run it doesn't opens two Chrome windows? After a while of debugging, it gets annoying.

You can ignore that last part now, as I added chrome.exe to my PATH.

Also, even when I added a website, nothing appears in my "Snapshots" page. I used the CLI and it gave some error about the "charmap".

Looks like you're running 0.4.21 in that output, can you try with the latest v0.5 build?

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox
cd ArchiveBox
git checkout v0.5.0
git pull

pip install .

cd C:\Users\School\Downloads\archivebox
archivebox version
archivebox init

You downloaded the v0.5.0 branch as a zip and got that error? Can you double check that package.json is present in the downloaded code and contains valid json?
