I recently paired up with another dev running windows with Ubuntu running in wsl, and we had a bit of a stuggle to get our project off the ground because they were missing com system dependencies to get going.
Straight in the terminal
Open up a terminal and get your required system dependencies using the apt package manager and the standard ubuntu repos.
sudo apt update sudo apt upgrade sudo apt install \
python3-dev \
python3-pip \
python3-venv \
python3-virtualenv
pip install pipx
Using an Ansible-Playbook
I like running things like this through an ansible-playbook as it give me some extra control and repeatability next time I have a new machine to setup.
- hosts: localhost
gather_facts: true
become: true
become_user: "{{ lookup('env', 'USER') }}"
pre_tasks:
- name: update repositories
apt: update_cache=yes
become_user: root
changed_when: False
vars:
user: "{{ ansible_user_id }}"
tasks:
- name: Install System Packages 1 (terminal)
become_user: root
apt:
name:
- build-essential
- python3-dev
- python3-pip
- python3-venv
- python3-virtualenv
- name: check is pipx installed
shell: command -v pipx
register: pipx_exists
ignore_errors: yes
- name: pipx
when: pipx_exists is failed
pip:
name: pipx
tags:
- pipx
video clip
Here is a clip of me getting pipx running on ubuntu 21.10, and running a few of my favorite pipx commands.
