How to reproduce the behaviour

After downloading doccano and trying to start it via doccano init I get the following message:

doccano init
Traceback (most recent call last):

Your Environment

Operating System: Windows 10 1909
Python Version Used: 3.9.4
When you install doccano: 17.06.2021
How did you install doccano (Heroku button etc): pip install doccano

Own Research:

Apparently Windows doesn’'t support fcntl. Therefore nobody that uses Windows can install doccano via pip.

Yes with docker everything seems fine, but I think this should be stated somewhere.

The installation via Docker is stated in the README. Pull the Docker-Image: docker pull doccano/doccano

Create the container and choose your password, port, etc: docker container create --name doccano \ -e "ADMIN_USERNAME=admin" \ -e "ADMIN_EMAIL=admin@example.com" \ -e "ADMIN_PASSWORD=password" \ -v doccano-db:/data \ -p 8000:8000 doccano/doccano

Start the container: docker container start doccano

You can now find the instance under your localhost:8000
