[SOLVED] Virtualenv : command not found

Help
1

Hello,
I have a centos6 and i try the following command to install client :

git clone https://github.com/letsencrypt/letsencrypt
cd letsencrypt
./letsencrypt-auto

and i get the following error :
virtualenv : command not found.

Python install correctly, no error.
Just one message during the process :
"No package python-virtualenv available."
Do you have any idea to solve this problem ?
Thanks.

Nicolas

Hey Nicolas,

See if you can install the dependency with pip:

pip install virtualenv

and see if that helps resolve the issue.

fyi you also need python 2.7 instead of centos 6's default python 2.6 see [SOLVED]Error installing the client CentOS 6.7 - #2 by eva2000

Hello !
Thanks to @Archer. Il install virtualenv with he command : pip install virtualenv.

@eva2000 : I tried to install python 2.7 like in the post you mentioned, but the repository --enablerepo=ius doesn’t exist.
So i installed it ans then
yum -y install python27 python27-devel python27-pip python27-setuptools python27-tools python27-virtualenv --enablerepo=ius
No error.

But now i have another error during the letsencrypt script :
Command “python setup.py egg_info” failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-build-PM RzXk/ConfigArgParse

Thanks for your help !
Best regards
Nicolas

you need to install IUS Community yum repo first https://ius.io/GettingStarted/

@eva2000 thanks for your quick reply.

Yes as i describe it, i installed the IUS community yum repo.
After i installed with no error the python 2.7.

But now i have another error during the letsencrypt-auto script :
Command “python setup.py egg_info” failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-build-PM RzXk/ConfigArgParse

Best regards.

What's output from

yum repolist all

probably ran into this CentOS 6.7 + Python 2.7 errors on letsencrypt-auto run · Issue #1106 · certbot/certbot · GitHub

i installed at /root/tools/letsencrypt so i had to remove directory /root/.local/share which is relative to base directory

I don’t think wiping /root/.local/share completely is a good idea. Removes also data you may want to keep. Better find the real issue and delete just a single or two subfolders.

[/quote] in my case and @kilone it’s centos 6.7 and python 2.6 not officially being supported

so only wipe /root/.local/share/letsencrypt/lib/python2.6 ?

That may be enough, but deleting all applications’ stuff in there doesn’t seem like a good idea.

Hello @kelunik
In my case the server was in a clean and fresh install conditions. So no matter about losing some data. :grinning:

indeed, although this would only happen at first time install for systems that default to python 2.6 out of the box
