Linux installation error - Python version?

[errchh]

Hi, I have got errors during installation on Linux. Which happens both in auto or manual way of the install.

I'm on Fedora 37, and python 3.11.1 through dnf.

It seems like it is limited to python version <3.11?

Anyone has similar experience?

UPDATE -- it's working now.

1. switched back to python 3.10.6 -- a version mentioned in the window version doc, using pyenv, by following the youtube video of London App Developer. (credit -- very detailed instructions)
2. ran python launch.py instead.

Did you downgrade the one in your webui virtual environment (../venv/bin/python) or the one for the whole system? I can run normally with zsh webui.sh

[errchh]

Yes, it is acting like a switch and downgraded Python across the whole system. Py 3.11.1 is still there and could make a switch anytime though.

It was the first tutorial I searched that works. However if it could run in a virtual environment for the Webui only that would be a better option.

[errchh]

Thanks for the info. After some more searches, found that there is issue with pyenv. venv is the way.

[mclsugi]

Thank's, but I'm ok. Just asking in case you still in trouble. Yes, we can install numerous version of Python, and we also can chose in webui-user.sh which version of python we want to use for this webui (explicitly declare the path to the 'correct' python on Python= ).

Same issue here, installation gfpgam only worked after explicitly using python3.10
