Receiving <RuntimeError: Could not locate the 'mdb-export' executable. Check that mdbtools is properly installed.> error when trying to run convert_arbin_to_sqlite method

[nhshetty-99]

I'm trying to run the convert_arbin_to_sqlite method on one of my .res files and also specify the output file to be in a .s3db format. However, the code always fails on that line and provides me with this error:

RuntimeError: Could not locate the 'mdb-export' executable. Check that mdbtools is properly installed.

I then pip installed mdbtools and ran a pip freeze to see that I have version 0.3.14 installed. I also tried including an import mdbtools statement at the top of my file to see if that fixed the problem, but then I get this error:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'MDButils'

I'm not sure why this is happening, so I'd appreciate any assistance or guidance from any of you. Thank you so much.

mdbtools isn't a Python package, so you can't install it with pip install. On Debian and Ubuntu Linux you can install it with apt install mdbtools.

You can see the mdbtools project on github for more info: https://github.com/brianb/mdbtools
