Borgweb: installation procedure for explicit python3 path #111

Closed dsjstc closed 6 years ago

dsjstc commented 6 years ago

Howdy! I thought I'd give borgweb a try, but the install documentation is not followable for me on Ubuntu 17.10. There appear to be two competing install procedures.

The "stable" install instructions on the main BorgWeb site have only one instruction: pip install -e . This seems predicated on the idea that your path python interpreter is >= python3.4. My distro doesn't permit this.

The "latest" install instructions linked to from github also have a 20-line script to set up a "complete dev environment" for "the same virtualenv as you use for BorgBackup". I don't guess this is targeted at me, as my borg was installed from a distro package.

Any user-targeted documentation would be appreciated, even if it's just "This software is not yet ready to be installed by non-developers".

It's all a bit rough still.

I'ld recommend using a virtualenv for borgweb, even if borg is not in there, but installed as a system package.

Thanks Thomas, I appreciate it. Time for me to go learn a little about virtualenv.
