Re: #nanovna-saver Linux software issue #nanovna-saver


 

I ran into this error ("python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-build....) also in Kubuntu 18.04. All known dependencies were met and the previous version had installed and ran as expected. The issue seems to be the installer was trying to write to /tmp as an ordinary user, which is not allowed. ~/tmp would have been a better choice, perhaps.

So I ran the install as sudo. It installed and seems to run OK in userspace, although I have not connected my NVNA to it yet. Whatever can of worms I may have opened by doing this I am sure I will find out later....

Hi Jim,

I had a similar issue on Debian 10 the other day. It seems like components of the Python environment are not automatically kept up to date when simply running apt-get. So after running:

python3.7 -m pip install -U setuptools

... I also ran:

pip3 install --upgrade setuptools wheel pip3

Which then prepared the environment so I could run the nanovna-saver installer.
