Re: PoC electron and pgAdmin4

Hello
That is unfortunate. Can you run directly the python app?
Go to the folder where you installed the application using a
terminal/PowerShell/cmd and use the python from the venv folder to run the
pgadmin4.py file and let me know the error that you are getting.

venv/bin/python pgadmin4/pgadmin4.py

Or
venv\Scripts\python.exe pgadmin4\pgadmin4.py

Depending on the environment

Also there might be a caption problem I am not on my machine now so I
cannot double check.

Thanks
Joao
