Hey,
Is anyone able to use sudo python -m pip install git+https://github.com/medic/pyxform.git@medic-conf-1.17#egg=pyxform-medic
command indicated in the documentation site to install pyxform?
Hey,
Is anyone able to use sudo python -m pip install git+https://github.com/medic/pyxform.git@medic-conf-1.17#egg=pyxform-medic
command indicated in the documentation site to install pyxform?
For me, on a clean install of Ubuntu 24.04, I don’t like to install things globally with sudo
and python
doesn’t have an alias and python3
now requires a virual env. So I use:
pipx install git+https://github.com/medic/pyxform.git@medic-conf-1.17#egg=pyxform-medic
However, most folks will have python
aliased to python3
and are not running the very latest, where the command we specify in the docs should work.
Are you having an error when you try to run the command? Can you post the error? Can you specify the version of python you’re on via python --version
(or if that doesn’t work python3 --version
)

Hey @mrjones I am getting the errors above. I also have both python 2 and python3 installed: Python 2.7.18 and Python 3.12.6
Thanks for posting the error code @Esther_Moturi !
I see the error shows it’s using python2 which is deprecated. Can you try and explicitly using python3
sudo python3 -m pip install git+https://github.com/medic/pyxform.git@medic-conf-1.17#egg=pyxform-medic
When I test this works for me:
➜ mkdir deleteme && cd deleteme
➜ python3 -m venv .venv
➜ . .venv/bin/activate
(.venv) ➜ deleteme python3 -m pip install git+https://github.com/medic/pyxform.git@medic-conf-1.17#egg=pyxform-medic

Note that I created a Virtual Environment which likely isn’t required for you.
If the above python3
call works, you may want to map python
to go to python3
instead of python2
. This is likely done via symlink. If you run which python
and then run file ...
on the path you get back from the which
command, you can figure out where the binaries live and which to symlink to.
let us know if you get stuck with any of this!
Awesome! I’m glad that worked.
