Could you try to uninstall everything and start from scratch including removing the ~/.modular/cache https://docs.modular.com/engine/get-started

hi i am getting these errors while installing the max and mojo. i have checked the paths and its perfectly fine with that for python. KDE NEON build on Ubuntu 22.04😩

Ehsan M. Kermani (Modular)•10mo ago

The error says it can't find libpython. Make sure Python >= 3.8 is installed

nawinkumar•10mo ago

I have python 3.12

ok, I will try I have just retried it, reinstalled from scratch same issue. @Ehsan M. Kermani

Hi @Krishna give this a try installing miniconda: https://docs.conda.io/projects/miniconda/en/latest/#quick-command-line-install Make sure you init and activate:

~/miniconda3/bin/conda init --all
conda activate base

~/miniconda3/bin/conda init --all
conda activate base

And run this:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$CONDA_PREFIX/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
modular install mojo

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$CONDA_PREFIX/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
modular install mojo

Note that KDE NEON isn't officially supported, and I'm not sure where it puts libpython.so, it might not even have it. But conda comes with libpython so the above should work, just keep in mind that Mojo will be linking to your conda base environment, so if you want to install packages do:

conda activate base
conda install numpy
pip install piponlything

conda activate base
conda install numpy
pip install piponlything

etc. @Krishna that isn't showing the error produced, can you try running the command manually and showing what it outputs:

~/.modular/pkg/packages.modular.com_mojo/venv/bin/python3 -m ensurepip --upgrade --default-pip

~/.modular/pkg/packages.modular.com_mojo/venv/bin/python3 -m ensurepip --upgrade --default-pip

Also @Krishna please confirm if you're using WSL2 or WSL1 as the former is supported by MAX

KrishnaOP•10mo ago

I am using wsl2

Congrats @Krishna, you just advanced to level 1!

/home/kittupriyatham/.modular/pkg/packages.modular.com_mojo/venv/bin/python3: No module named ensurepip

Hey that should be included with the latest installer if you run this again:

curl https://get.modular.com | sh -

curl https://get.modular.com | sh -

If that doesn't work do:

sudo apt install python3-venv

sudo apt install python3-venv

Then try again

KrishnaOP•9mo ago

no it is not working.

PriNova•9mo ago

Maybe your system is missing the libpython3.12.so. Install the Python3.12-dev headers: sudo apt install python3.12-dev Then modular install mojo This worked for me. You do not need to export LD_LIBRARY_PATH with this solution. In my case, I installed Python3.12 from the deadsnakes ppa, because of WSL2 VM

KrishnaOP•9mo ago

ok. Thank you all very much, finally I have installed the modular max.

Ehsan M. Kermani (Modular)•9mo ago

How did you fix it?

KrishnaOP•9mo ago

as said by @PriNova I have added deadsnakeppa and then installed python3.12-dev then, I was able to install the package without any issues directly. I did this on fresh download. Now, I have few doubts, on how to use the max package. to leverage the c, python, and mojo through max and possibility of interlinking of libraries or functionalities between the 3 languages.

As far as I remember, this issue persisted since the closed beta of Mojo back in summer last year. Installing the Python dev library solved that issue already these days.
