Problem installing tunnel on Linux Mint xfce

Hi,
I am trying to install tunnel on Linux Mint xfce, but I am receiving an error.
I followed the steps for Linux Mint to install pipx (sudo apt-get install python3-pip; python3 -m pip install --user pipx; python3 -m userpath append ~/.local/bin). Then continued with pipx install ldh-client but received the following error:

Did I miss something?

Help is much appreciated! :slight_smile:

I believe you have to add setuptools to your list for what you’re installing with pip. Try that.

You’re missing the cairo package (a graphics library). Not sure exactly what the package name will be, but a synaptic search for cairo should turn something up. Probably need the dev package too (something like cairo-dev or libcairo-dev).

@niceguy

The following works with xfce:

run the following command to install missing dependencies:

sudo apt install libcairo2-dev libgirepository1.0-dev pip venv python3-pip python-pip gir1.2-nm-1.0 network-manager-openvpn network-manager-openvpn-gnome seahorse

Then run the command:

python3 -m pip install --user pipx python3 -m userpath append ~/.local/bin pip3 install ldh-client

Then follow the account setup steps here: https://docs.puri.sm/Librem_One/PureOS/VPN_Tunnel.html#configuring-librem-tunnel

Thanks for your suggestions.

For

sudo apt install libcairo2-dev libgirepository1.0-dev pip venv python3-pip python-pip gir1.2-nm-1.0 network-manager-openvpn network-manager-openvpn-gnome seahorse

I’m getting the following output:

I repeated without pip and venv.

The command

python3 -m pip install --user pipx python3 -m userpath append ~/.local/bin pip3 install ldh-client

gave the output

Summary

no such option: -m

I think you should try this as three separate commands

python3 -m pip install --user pipx 
python3 -m userpath append ~/.local/bin 
pip3 install ldh-client

Yes you should, sorry for this error in the copy and past process

Oh I guess I should have figured myself. Thanks for the guidance. Will try tomorrow.

Now for pip3 install ldh-client I’m getting the following:

Any idea how to proceed now?

Add python-setuptools after ldh-client.

I tried to install Ubuntu 18.04 and got the same error. Then I figured I hadn’t installed pipx properly, which I then did with python3 -m pip install --user pipx and python3 -m pipx ensurepath. Then I stumbled upon the same problem as described in this thread, but the solution worked for me as well. Now tunnel is running properly.
