installation in linux mint 18.1 Serena

[aauioo]

Hello

I would like to try Ghini as a collection manager of a garden I help to maintain. But, I am trying to install Ghini but get a notification on dependencies I do not understand. I have a system running on Linux Mint 18.1 Serena. output of the terminal looks like this:

jaap@jaap ~ $ cd ghini_install
jaap@jaap ~/ghini_install $ bash ./devinstall.sh
please solve the following dependencies:
(package names are ubuntu/debian, YMMV.)
----------------------------------------
python-virtualenv
----------------------------------------
then restart the devinstall.sh script

you are on a debian-like system, I should know how to install
python-virtualenv

As far as I understand all dependencies needed are there. I have no idea how to continue from here. I get the impression it's about python-virtualenv . The other packages aren't mentioned any more if I run devinstall again. Same happened on desk and laptop.

Hi Jaap, thank you for reporting it here: as I wrote over private email, I'm forgetful and issues help me focus. we solved this on your own system, by installing virtualenv, while the script insists with python-virtualenv. I do not remember from what distribution I got the package name and I should check and correct.

after you reported mint, I've checked debian 8 & 9, ubuntu 18.04, and they all want virtualenv, but ubuntu 14.04 uses so python-virtualenv and 14.04 has not reached end-of-life, so I'm going to think about it.
