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 .

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.

Hi Jim I don't see where my program starts. But it does (is it compile?) Go thru the process of trying to get there. I was wondering if I loaded a Python IDE and tried to get the program to run from there if I would have a closer look at the problem. There are a whole lot of tools to use in the world of Linux maybe I could put one to use. I think it would take a whole lot of videos on YouTube to get me up to speed.!.

For updating the software, it should be sufficient to just type "git pull"
in the nanovna-saver directory. This updates all the files - and the only
reason for the install command is to fetch the dependencies.
I don't run the software on Linux, and I choose to prioritize developing it
further over getting it running on multiple platforms - sorry. :-)

I had the exact same error a few hours ago when doing the update on Debian Buster as i forgot to update the dependencies as root (forgot the sudo). Running it as sudo worked fine. I didn't use the --no-cache-dir option. The strange thing is that you get this error running it with sudo. I can reproduce the same error now running it without sudo, with and without --no-cache-dir. In both cases it works fine with sudo. Maybe you have some strange permissions on /tmp ? 73 de Martin HB9FXX -- QrssPiG, a QRSS grabber for your Pi: ¡°The best surfer out there is the one having the most fun¡± -- Duke Kahanamoku

The worst part of this is that pip do create files in the /tmp
directory I have seen it. but when it comes to PyQt5 there is a bug.
Also, when we download the PyQt5-5.14.1 compresed file it does not
contain a setup.py file. Unless it is in the pip process to create it
wich I have no idea. If so, the problem seem to be the source of the
PyQt5-5.14.1

Rune,
You shouldn't have to necessarily run the program on Linux. We Linux users can do that for you. As long as you don't use some function in Python that is a Windows Only function, there shouldn't be too much problems debugging the program. Python should be able to handle the differences between Windows, Linux and Mac as long as you aren't trying to tap some special feature of Windows. It might also help if you listed a set of dependencies required by the program and the version of Python you're using.
I myself use Linux as my production PC. I haven't found anything I can't do on Linux that must be done on Windows except for some Windows Only applications which are not cross platform. With Microsoft sunsetting support of Windows 7 today (1/14), I suspect there will be many more converts to Linux given that there are millions of Windows PC's out there still in use.
With your insight into the program, just help us interpret the error messages and we'll debug the program. A great program even if I do have to run it on Windows for a while.

It seems to me...
- this is not a nanovna-saver problem
- something may have changed in PyQt5 since 15.12.19
- the upgrade from LM19.2 to LM19.3 may have broken something in the python3.7 installation.
However if I just do this into a clean directory...
$ git clone
$ python3.7 ./nanovna-saver/nanovna-saver.py
then nanovna-saver runs fine, with no "python3.7 -m pip install ."

In thinking about some of the responses here, perhaps a better approach would be to check your distro's package manager for PyQt5. It may be already on your system, or available for install. If so, install it from the package manager and just pull down the nanovna-saver repository and see if it will run. 73 -Jim NU0C On Tue, 14 Jan 2020 22:14:26 -0600 "N9KDY" <n9kdy@...> wrote: Nick wrote:
