Python bug

When trying to install it in my Pika OS:

@🪶 𝕴𝖔𝖘𝖊𝖕𝖍 Best not to post your Modular auth token. That's the one that starts with mut_. I'd redact it out if I were you.

Old Man Mariner•12mo ago

Did I do it?

ModularBot•12mo ago

Congrats @🪶 𝕴𝖔𝖘𝖊𝖕𝖍, you just advanced to level 1!

Stole•12mo ago

Yep

Old Man Mariner•12mo ago

Thanks

It looks like Pika OS doesn't use apt even though it does have an Ubuntu base. Modular officially only supports a couple Ubuntu versions at the moment Maybe you could try modifying the installer script to use pikman if it's similar enough to apt? Though that's likely a botched solution, just a thought I'm not acquainted with Pika OS

As far as I understand, mojo uses the system python. In the latest version of python on Linux, you cannot install packages using pip without using env, but this is very easily fixed. Just delete 1 file

 rm /usr/lib/python3.11/EXTERNALLY-MANAGED

 rm /usr/lib/python3.11/EXTERNALLY-MANAGED

And try to run the mojo installation again.

Old Man Mariner•12mo ago

Thanks for the fix! New one though:

❤🔥•12mo ago

Try entering

 modular clean

 modular clean

And install mojo again

modular install mojo

modular install mojo

Old Man Mariner•12mo ago

Same bug

message.txt

❤🔥•12mo ago

try execute

modular install mojo

modular install mojo

from root user

Old Man Mariner•12mo ago

Everything went well 😄 Now I have a question Will I only be able to use that installation in root, then? Or is it system-wide?

❤🔥•12mo ago

Did you write the commands that the installer issued after installation?

Old Man Mariner•12mo ago

Not yet, but it seems they tell me to use root paths 🔥 Mojo installed! 🔥 Now run the following commands if you are using bash: echo 'export MODULAR_HOME="/root/.modular"' >> ~/.bashrc echo 'export PATH="/root/.modular/pkg/packages.modular.com_mojo/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bashrc source ~/.bashrc If you are using ZSH, run the following commands: echo 'export MODULAR_HOME="/root/.modular"' >> ~/.zshrc echo 'export PATH="/root/.modular/pkg/packages.modular.com_mojo/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc source ~/.zshrc Then enter 'mojo' to start the Mojo REPL. For tool help, enter 'mojo --help'. For more docs, see https://docs.modular.com/mojo.

One idea, try copying .modular to your user's folder and replacing /root/ with /home/YOUR USER/

sudo cp -r /root/.modular /home/YOUR USER
echo 'export MODULAR_HOME="/home/YOUR USER/.modular"' >> ~/.bashrc
echo 'export PATH="/home/YOUR USER/.modular/pkg/packages.modular.com_mojo/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc

sudo cp -r /root/.modular /home/YOUR USER
echo 'export MODULAR_HOME="/home/YOUR USER/.modular"' >> ~/.bashrc
echo 'export PATH="/home/YOUR USER/.modular/pkg/packages.modular.com_mojo/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc
