When I reloaded my Linux Mint XFCE 19.2 because of screen freezing up I
installed Mint XFCE 19.3 and after a reboot it decided that I should not
have administration rights over any USB drives. So I installed Mint Mate
19.3 (yes they are all really different) and I am having a hard time
getting nanoVNA-saver ver 2.2 to work at all. Some of The problems are
where python puts the code in the directory naming structure of Linux.
Your script has gotten me very close to success. Thank you.
I just have this one error :
Python setup.py egg info failed with code 1 in
/temp/pip-build-xzpflql/PyQt5/
I am getting to dislike PyQt5 as it causes a lot of errors.
At this time I have no fix and nanoVNA-saver 2.2 will not run on any of
the above mentioned Linux distributions. But when it ran it ran circles
around and with the nanovna. So much fun.
Thanks for all of your help.

If you are updating your previously installed NanoVNA-Saver in Linux, the
procedure is the same with one exception. If you try to do the gitclone, it
will complain that the directory is not empty. So first I moved my current
install to a different directory name then followed install steps as
normal. Your existing launcher/shortcut will still work as directory
structure is the same. Also you can still use the previous version if
necessary by changing the path. I also have added a no cache option for pip
to avoid the "directory not owned by current user" error.
sudo mv nanovna-saver nanovna-saver-2.1
then
git clone
cd nanovna-saver
sudo python3.7 -m pip --no-cache-dir install .
