How to start program during boot of raspberry

Hi, I want to launch a program when my raspberry starts, in particular I want to tell the raspberry that before starting it must enter a virtual environment, in my case the path is /home/andrea/newenv and the python program that needs the virtual environment is /home/andrea/script.py, I personally tried to access the rc.local and put the command before exit: /bin/bash -c "source /home/pi/newenv/bin/activate but it doesn't work, does anyone know how to help me?

If you get the exact commands you need to do you can use crontab -e then select 1 and add at the bottom of the file @reboot [command] before selecting ctrl + o and ctrl + x

like this

it doesn't work <:confusedblob:1053364681575776276>

🥲

Copy and paste that command into your terminal just without the @reboot

Outside of crontab, I have a feeling that will give an error

i tryed in other way

i put the command to start the env in a python script with subprocess and i started the python script after now i see if it works

yes it gave me an error

Then it's not crontabs fault

Crontab will simply run that command at boot

I can help with your actual command problems later

ok

pip install idna in the env

it says me that i have it

i can share with you my code

import subprocess import sys # Percorso del tuo ambiente virtuale e script venv_path = '/home/andrea/newenv/bin/activate' # Percorso dell'ambiente virtuale script_path = '/home/andrea/transgoogle.py' # Percorso del tuo script Python # Comando per attivare l'ambiente virtuale e eseguire lo script command = f"source {venv_path} && python {script_path}" # Esegui il comando subprocess.run(command, shell=True, executable="/bin/bash")

This is the first that stars the env and starts the other script

Send this in with ` around it btw

py
import subprocess
import sys

# Percorso del tuo ambiente virtuale e script
venv_path = '/home/andrea/newenv/bin/activate'  # Percorso dell'ambiente virtuale
script_path = '/home/andrea/transgoogle.py'  # Percorso del tuo script Python

# Comando per attivare l'ambiente virtuale e eseguire lo script
command = f"source {venv_path} && python {script_path}"

# Esegui il comando
subprocess.run(command, shell=True, executable="/bin/bash")

                        "text": testo_latino
                    }
                ]
            }
        ]
    )

    print("Traduzione:", completion.choices[0].message.content)
