[FIXED] Can't install XLWings add-in into excel no matter what I do

Issue

I really, really wanted to try this add-in for excel, but no matter what myself or my colleagues (to include one of my information systems professors) tried, we couldn't get it to work. Excel, in order to use an add in, must have an XLAM file. However, there is no link to one on the website (xlwings.org). Even using pip to 'download/install' xlwings, it doesn't include the command client that the documentation claims it does. As such, there is no possible way on the user end to get xlwings that we can determine. No xlam, command prompt doesn't work. We have all the files, however. I see the directory, including the quickstart macro. But command prompt will not execute xlwings or any other command, thus rendering the module unable to be used, at least to our knowledge.

The documentation states: "To install the add-in, it’s easiest to use the command line client: xlwings addin install." That's all it says on their site regarding the add-in install. Typing this into command prompt doesn't work, even when I changed my path environment variables to point towards the XLWings folder (which contains the quickstart file they mention). Literally, the instructions they give to install don't work at all.

Solution

Great question. I also had a great deal of trouble myself when trying to install this add-in, as it is near impossible to locate on their site. However, I eventually found the link to download it here: https://github.com/ZoomerAnalytics/xlwings/releases/download/v0.11.4/xlwings.xlam
