!!! IMPORTANT !!!
IF YOU UPDATE with "git pull" DELETE THE CONTENT OF ./tmp and ./run FOLDER BEFORE INSTALLING THIS VERSION.
after that if you stilll have errors on installation, remove Miniforge3 and scoop if possible (windows only) from your user root directory.

NOTE:
if you are on windows and crash with DLL missing etc.... just uninstall completely ffmpeg and calibre then reinstall E2A.
