InferenceSystem "Create a virtual environment" instructions don't work

[dthaler]

Tried the instructions on Windows, but all they do is give failures.

Do the docker instructions still work? https://github.com/orcasound/aifororcas-livesystem/tree/main/InferenceSystem#running-inference-system-in-a-local-docker-container

The second error is likely related to the first (wrong python version). Looks like installation succeeded but binary wasn't found. Does launching a new terminal and rerunning virtualenv inference-venv work (in case PATH has changed)?

Couldn't get far enough to try, since that's a later step on the page. Docker installed just fine though.

No it doesn't work (tried that before filing this issue).

PATH doesn't include anything like what Location shows above. So there must be steps missing from the instructions.

[micya]

The Docker instructions are separate and do not require the virtualenv setup.

The virtualenv location looks sketchy to me. Please check with @pastorep to see if that is correct and update PATH if so.

These setup was done for me using "python -m venv inference-venv" instead of virtualenv, that might not be needed, but also using the specific python version mentioned: 3.7.4. After that, everything was successfully setup for me
