Install Obitools in README.md Doesn't Work

cbird808 commented 3 years ago

the command below is unrecognized, so I must have to do something first such that virtualenv-2.7 is a valid command

cbird@3950x:~/OBI$ virtualenv-2.7 OBI-env
virtualenv-2.7: command not found

Check `virtualenv` version

virtualenv --version

If it says anything about python 2.7, done. Follow the Readme, but instead of virtualenv2.7, you just have virtualenv

Else, you need to install virtualenv (for python2.7)

Install `pip2` to install python2.7 packages:

# Install python2 is not already
sudo apt install python2

# Install pip2
curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py --output get-pip.py
sudo python2 get-pip.py

# Check version
pip2 --version

Install `virtualenv`

pip2 install virtualenv

# Check version
virtualenv --version

Actually I think virtualenv is generic. To use python2, replace

virtualenv-2.7 OBI-env

with

virtualenv -p python2 OBI-env

But this is much like what I think you already tried. Maybe 2.7.15 is a problem? Want whatever the system install for python2 by default.
