error when trying to create voltage divider circuit simulation
Title
Question
I am getting the error in kidcad , and after giving trasients, seconds etc.... i converted it and couldn't see anything in the source details tab . And even after giving simuate am getting a error saying that, "Error while opening python plotting Editor. Please look at console for more details" and also NgSpice Fatal Error. Am including my command prompt windows text,

Dear Swarna,
It looks like you are using BT1 battery source. For simulation in eSim use only eSim sources and then do the KiCad to Netlist Conversion. Please try simulating the circuits given in the examples folder.
Please refer to this manual of eSim: https://static.fossee.in/esim/manuals/eSim_Manual_2020_August.pdf.
Also install the latest version of eSim i.e. eSimv2.1: https://esim.fossee.in/downloads
