Greetings, struggling with the nanovna-saver software for linux mint 19.3 mate for over a week now.I am definitely not a linux guru by any means, more like a semi dummy.
following the instructions at github.com/mihtjel/nanovna-saver I believe i have all the dependence satisfied.
When I run the pip installation python3.7 -m pip install . this the error baffling my poor head.
Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-build-s_o_dw26/PyQt5/
Tried --upgrade pip etc.
Formatted HD, re installed Linux 19.3 Mate I have tried everything I can think of.
If anyone can point and old dummy like me in the right direction please don't be shy.
Laptop is Gateway NV53 64 bit by the way.

Thanks Jim KC2DHU

I'm using 19.3 Cinnamon myself. If I remember correctly, I had to install a few dependencies first.
Try this first
sudo apt install python3.7 python3-pip python3-distutils python3-setuptools python3-wheel
then

git clone
cd nanovna-saver
python3.7 -m pip install .

Don't forget the space then . after install
then
python3.7 nanovna-saver.py
Should open after that. Let me know where you get errors.
Also I made a shortcut on my desktop to launch it.

After you get it installed, you can make a shortcut by right clicking on the desktop and select "Create Launcher here"
I just called mine NanoVNA Saver and browsed for an unused system icon. The command for my system was
python3.7 /home/andrew/nanovna-saver/nanovna-saver.py

Procedure may be slightly different with Mate. Also of course your path will be different as well.

As a side note, you can also install AntScope 2, the RigExpert software. It won't connect to the NanoVNA but you can open the saved files to play around with.
You'll want the Ubuntu 18.04 version for Mint 19.3

Jim,

I use Linux Mint 19.2 Cinnamon on my Chromebook and I believe I had trouble running nanovna-saver because qtxcb was missing. Try installing it with "sudo apt install qt5dxcb-plugin" and see if that helps. Mint 19.3 won't run on my Chromebook (no video) but otherwise there shouldn't be too much difference between Mint 19.2 and 19.3 to cause trouble with nanovna-saver.

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.

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....

Oh yeah, forgot the sudo step. I knew there was something else I had to do to make this work!
so:
git clone
cd nanovna-saver
sudo python3.7 -m pip install .

Jim KC2DHU - Let us know if you got it working. Curious to know what the results are. Thanks

Interesting. I do not recall having to sudo the previous version. I'm not a programmer, but I'm wondering what changed? The instructions in README.md are the same.

I've ran into issues too with Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS

All of the dependencies are present. Below is the results of the install.

I've tried creating the tmp folder and manually moving setup.py . It really didn't make much difference.

If any other information would be helpful, let me know.

Bob,
have you tried running the software, rather than the install procedure? The
install pulls in the dependencies - if you already have them installed, you
can just run the program instead.

('python3.7 nanovna-saver.py' should work)

I tried just running the program as suggested in post #9840. Tried everything so far that been suggested. I do have it running in windows 7, but I just despise windows.
This is what I am seeing at this point.

Hello Robert,

Too bad.
It helped me, therefore I told you.

What is strange for me, PyQt5 was downloaded OK, but was not installed.

73, Rudi DL5FA

Rudi:

I'll look into PyQt5 not installing issue. Rather be working on this than blowing snow in my driveway......

I've been running Ubuntu for years, and still I'm a novice. Thanks for taking time for the suggestion. The answer will come..

Hi Robert -

The answer will come

This comment in your first message is a concern:

I've tried creating the tmp folder and manually moving setup.py . It really didn't make much difference.

Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS surely has a tmp folder for updates...

Linux distros generally have packaging schemes which typically do not use pip.
To the extent possible, a distro user should use the same package manager
to install python packages that was used to install python itself.

If python were manually installed from e.g. a tarball,
then the distro's package manager would not be implicated, and pip would be appropriate.

Using pip can be compared to crossing wires:


"In most cases, you should use pip within a virtual environment only."
