I tried to initialize QGIS from a standalone script, but it's giving the error (find in an image). enter image description here

I reinstalled, but the same issue occurred.

code:

from qgis.core import *

QgsApplication.setPrefixPath(r"C:\Program Files\QGIS 3.12", True)
qgs = QgsApplication([], False)
qgs.initQgis()
vlayer = QgsVectorLayer(path_to_airports_layer, "Airports layer", "ogr")
QgsProject.instance().addMapLayer(vlayer)
qgs.exitQgis()

How can I initialize correctly?

    Under Windows OS you need to start python with correct environment. You can use a batch-file to do this. Read here: gis.stackexchange.com/questions/322195/…

  • You can't open QGIS this way, you'll be able to use QGIS-Elements that way. Make sure to read the Pyqis-Cookbook from the QGIS-Website!
