How can I run that Python script I downloaded from GitHub?

Question

https://github.com/AliFlux/MapTilesDownloader I tried the following:

PS C:\Program Files\MapTilesDownloader-master\src> python server.py

but I received the following result:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "server.py", line 3, in <module>
    from http.server import BaseHTTPRequestHandler, HTTPServer
ImportError: No module named http.server

Could you please help me solve this problem? Thank You in advance.

Are you using python 3? Looks like the script requires 3 but you have an older python version — mousetail, Sep 16 '21 at 14:10

It should be because you have the wrong Python version, you need Python 3 to use http.server

Check out this link, this person also has a similar issue, try starting the server with python3 server.py, you may have to download Python 3 if it doesn't work

The first thing that comes to mind is that you are either not using python3 or that you do not have the Pillow library installed. To install pillow you can do:

pip3 install pillow

(you could use pip instead of pip3) in your terminal/command line and then do:

python3 server.py

If python3 does not work, it might mean that python3 is not installed, follow the instructions on the python website to do so.
