Install Documentation lacks list of dependancies #899

Closed mryellow closed 1 year ago

mryellow commented 1 year ago

Debian complains with:

[6581] Error loading Python lib '..../activitywatch/libpython3.9.so.1.0': dlopen: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.29' not found (required by ..../activitywatch/libpython3.9.so.1.0)

No doubt other distros complain about other things but there is no list of required dependencies which must be installed before using the software. Which is a blocker to non-technical users.

Perhaps an actual installer as suggested by #888 is something which should be looked at sooner rather than later.

Hi there! As you're new to this repo, please make sure you've used an appropriate issue template and searched for duplicates (it helps us focus on actual development!). We'd also like to suggest that you read our contribution guidelines and our code of conduct. Thanks a bunch for opening your first issue! 🙏

Update your debian version (you are probably running Debian Buster?). The latest version is Debian Bullseye and has been released for almost 2 years. The next version Debian Bookworm will be released in a couple of months, so you could wait for that as well.

buster: glibc 2.28-10 bullseye: glibc 2.31-13
