Installing from source fails on stable Debian Linux, error: externally-managed-environment #238
Description
At https://github.com/ZeroNetX/ZeroNet/#install-from-source is command:
sudo python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt
returns:
error: externally-managed-environment (full output)
one may solve all missing modules except "merkletools, coincurve" by command:
sudo apt install python3-{gevent,greenlet,msgpack,base58,rsa,pyasn1,maxminddb,socks}
But better is likely to use VENV, but is it documented in README?
cd $HOME/zeronet/ && python3 -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate && python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt && $HOME/zeronet/.venv/bin/python3 $HOME/zeronet/zeronet.py --version
If it can not find required module/s, then you may need to edit .sh file and replace python before zeronet .py path by something like "$HOME/zeronet/.venv/bin/python3 ".
