System Specifications:
OS: Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS
Terminal: Bash
Global/System Python: Python 3.10.12
What I was trying to do
I was following the installation docs given here: https://training.plone.org/mastering-plone/installation.html
In the 5.3. Installing the backend section, when I run the command make build I get this error:
++ tput setaf 2
++ tput sgr0
+ echo '==> Setup Virtual Env'
==> Setup Virtual Env
+ python -m venv venv
pyenv: python: command not found
The `python' command exists in these Python versions:
3.9.9
3.9.9/envs/kolibri-py3.9
kolibri-py3.9
Note: See 'pyenv help global' for tips on allowing both
python2 and python3 to be found.
make: *** [Makefile:30: bin/pip] Error 127
The Cause
Inside the MakeFile python is used instead of python3. In my system to start a python interpreter I have to type python3 not python. I guess it is for all Linux distros now. I may be wrong. Anyways.
Fix
Just change python to python3 inside MakeFile
Specifically these commands:
bin/pip:
@echo "$(GREEN)==> Setup Virtual Env$(RESET)"
python3 -m venv venv
venv/bin/pip install -U "pip" "wheel" "cookiecutter" "mxdev"
instance/etc/zope.ini: bin/pip
@echo "$(GREEN)==> Install Plone and create instance$(RESET)"
venv/bin/cookiecutter -f --no-input --config-file instance.yaml https://github.com/plone/cookiecutter-zope-instance
.PHONY: build
build: instance/etc/zope.ini ## pip install Plone packages
@echo "$(GREEN)==> Setup Build$(RESET)"
venv/bin/mxdev -c mx.ini
venv/bin/pip install -r requirements-mxdev.txt
.PHONY: start
start: ## Start a Plone instance on localhost:8080 in debug mode
PYTHONWARNINGS=ignore venv/bin/runwsgi -d instance/etc/zope.ini
