Could not find pip executable inside spontinivenv

System: Ubuntu 20.04.

After starting the server, I get this error message:

After installing python3-venv and starting the server:

There is no pip command, but there is a pip3 command:

$ which pip3
/usr/bin/pip3

This line

"2021-01-02 14:36:30 [E] Could not find pip executable inside spontinivenv"

tells that the directory "spontinivenv" exists (it is located inside lib/python of the Spontini directory tree), at the same level of "send_msg.py", "spontini_server_core.py" etc.

Please can you check again if there is such directory?

If you find it, delete it and run again the program.

Please give feedback for this!

Thanks

Note too that spontinivenv is inside lib/python of the Spontini directory tree, not the OS /lib

Finally:

if you don't find the directory, simply run again the program and please report the new error here

There is no such directory in lib/python:

Thanks,

then, simply run again the program and report the new error here

[ksnortum]

The server started!

[paopre]

Good!

You tried to launch the server without installing it. Then the program fixed automatically the broken installation
