Description

Hi all, noob user here, trying to install according to the instructions. I have Python 3.10 in an Anaconda venv on Windows 10. I'm getting the following error message:

Expand-Archive : The path 'E:\neuromorphovis\NeuroMorphoVis-master.zip' either does not exist or is not a valid file
system path.
At line:1 char:1
+ Expand-Archive -Path 'E:\neuromorphovis\NeuroMorphoVis-master.zip' -D ...
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : InvalidArgument: (E:\neuromorphov...oVis-master.zip:String) [Expand-Archive], InvalidOpe
rationException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : ArchiveCmdletPathNotFound,Expand-Archive

Sure enough, the file's not there. Looks like this is part of the Blender install, I have Blender 3.5 running on my machine.

Research direction

Start with the Windows installation instructions and the Blender installation steps that produce NeuroMorphoVis-master.zip. Reproduce the setup in a Python 3.10 Anaconda environment on Windows 10, then trace why the archive is absent or the documented path is wrong. Done means the documented installation reaches the archive extraction step successfully.
