try to install pip3 sudo apt install python3-pip

[CarlFK]

testing ./litex_setup.py --init --install --user --config=full

using
' https://github.com/bjonnh/fpga_class_psone/blob/main/setup_linux.sh'

with this change

# python3 litex_setup.py --init
# python3 litex_setup.py --install
python3 ./litex_setup.py --init --install --user --config=full

the install does not error (good) but the test fails (maybe bad?)

Hm, liteeth should have been installed with python3 ./litex_setup.py --init --install --user --config=full. Maybe check the output of python3 --version and pip --version. They should both report the same python version. Otherwise, pip will install things into the wrong location. (In my case the output is: pip 22.0.2 from /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pip (python 3.10) and Python 3.10.6
