pip install error
November 11, 2023, 11:23
yes
do I have to put my python code in the venv?
because it's installed but it's still saying the module does not exist and stuff
a ok
btw thanks you so much for helping me, after a couple hours im finally getting somewhere
say the path to my python file is media/kameron/Agag-E2P0/projects/, how would i put the venv in that file?
<@1073697879832674344>?
whea
?
wait what are you asking?
<@1057521181470752768> do you know?
I just realy want to get this sorted by the end of the weakened so I can finally finish this project
i think what i did to resolve this was redownloading piOS onto the sdcard
I promised myself I will get it sorted by tomorrow and I'm starting to get worried I won't meet that
backwards law it brother
but I feel so close with venv
wait so gimme some context rq
because it's working the pip install, I just need to put it in the same file as the code
im so sorry <@152978092174999553> ðŸ˜
it’s ok 😎 i was very confused but appreciate the random mention! good luck jimmy 🫡
worst case scenario, backup ur files onto usb or sum & reinstall piOS, i think she should potentially work off the bat
but yes, I just want to try out venv first because I feel so close
LMAO yeah funny how the universe works like that, what a Jimmy
i believe in u, keep it pushing jonathan
wait why are you calling me Jimmy and Jonathan?
ok i give up
how would I go back to the old version?
where I don't have to use venv <@808278006614196262>
because you are the one who suggested it
you suggested to go back to the old os
how would I do that? can I use a command? or do I have to reflash the SD card
or if I can get rid of the venv stuff without going back to the old os then that
ok I tried the venv one which does pip install correctly, but it seems like it's not in the same file as my python file
I tried putting the venv in the same path as the python but that didn't work
and what will the break system packages one do?
I will try that when I get home
like it's not in the same folder
I have no idea about these venv.
You just have to install the OS.
if I give up with the stuff miablo said, would I use "legacy os" in the imager?
or something else?
If it is the OS it was running on before, yes. Otherwise you'll have to see what other OSes it might run on.
ok
yes that's how I've used it
this is their official documentation
https://spherov2.readthedocs.io/_/downloads/en/latest/pdf/
and this is their interactive wiki:
https://spherov2.readthedocs.io/en/latest/sphero_edu.html
but either way whatever it does when I activate the venv I can pip install stuff but when I use python python files it acts like I've just done nothing
what does python put out when you run your script?
when i make the venv I try it makes a file in the file manager and I tried to put the python file in this but that didn't work
where are you running your python file from?
this is how to use a venv:
bash source ~/venv/bin/activate python yourscript.pyyou first activate your venv using the source command, you should see the name (venv) in your terminal before the path and all that. Now, you run your python script from that terminal.
I will try that
were you running it from the file manager?
also what will
pip install --break-system-packages spherov2do?
thanks for all the help btw
it will install the package spherov2, as a pip package.
the reason why it asks you to specify "break system packages" is because this installs this python package with something other than apt.
Most mayor linux distros are trying to move away from a need for pip, many of the python packages are now available in the package manager (for raspberryOs thats apt). This is generally the case since it makes maintenance a lot easier.
Sysadmins only need to run apt-get update && apt-get upgrade, instead of also having to update packages via pip.
Programs may rely on the fact that python libraries are at a specific version, so if you were to install something newer or older via pip, it could potentially break your system.
But for this package, that's probably not the case, since spherov2 is not all that relevant to your system running.
so if i want to install a package that doesn't do anything to the os too much I can just use break packages to be simple?
ok give me the command now
like for venv stuff I forgot it
actually ill just scroll up
just open your terminal, change the directory to whatever path you have your python script in, and run it using the commands i showed you earlier
ye
good luck
lol
thanks
I'll have to do it in maybe 45 mins something popped up
is there a way to see what my files called using ssh if I know where the file is?
I forgot what I named the python file
ok I found it
but I get this error -bash: /home/kameron/venv/bin/activate: No such file or directory
Indicates that the directory activate or the file activate does not exist in the directory /home/kameron/venv/bin.
Why don't you make a
ls /home/kameron/venv/bin
And see what it shows you
ok will do
I get the same thing
oh I think I know why
the python script is on an external usb stick, would that make a difference?
no that's not it, I moved it over to the correct file on the micro SD card and it didn't make a difference
Which directories exist at all?
ls /home/
ls /home/kameron/
ls /home/kameron/venv/
Which directories/files does it need?
what do you mean?
the python file exists in home/kameron, I also tried to put it in /home/Kameron/venv and home/Kameron/venv/bin
I'm trying the break packages one
nope that doesn't work
nevermind it's working
<@967682983966437416> thank you so much!
