What is the problem?

I try to install OctoPrint on Ubuntu 18.04 (with Python 3.6.9) installed inside of an virtual environment.

What did you already try to solve it?

I've tested the role usage on the Ubuntu 18.04 - I use Vagrant and [the generic/ubuntu1804 box](https://app.vagrantup.com/generic/boxes/ubuntu1804) - and it fails.


Even if the virtual environment is active

Hello @it-praktyk !

Have you used a certain guide or script to install?

You may use this:

BTW: Ubuntu 18.04 is quite old and it's LTS end soon this year.

Thank you for your reply.

I edited my question. I'm updating an Ansible role to install OctoPrint - like mentioned in the last line of initial message (after upgrade).

OctoPrint only supports Python 3.7 and higher, so this won't work.
