I once had the nanovna-saver executable working in ver 18 something. I let ubuntu upgrade to ver 20.04. since then the Nanaovna-saver exe does not work. I am trying to reload nanovna-saver following the instructions from this link
When I run the first command i get this error.

I tried following the instruction to install a "python virtual environment" with the same results.
I am searching for a fix but can't seem to find any. Any tips would help.
Thanks all
Did you apt update (and/or) apt upgrade - the former updates the local list of packages and where to get them; the latter actually brings in the new packages to your system. You might not want the latter, and would rather upgrade selectively.
apt uses a local directory of packages and maybe it doesn't have python3.8 in it.
So I'd do a "sudo apt update" then do the python install.
