Ubuntu Mate Octoprint installation failed

Mariusz_Zawierucha · April 25, 2020, 4:00pm

Hi,
I have BananaPi M3 board, which was succesfully running OctoPrint since 2 years. However some time ago I was able to update neither any plugin nor Octoprint's version itself.That's why decided to completly reinstall entire system +Octoprint to the latest one (currently 1.4.0). Previous version was runing under python 2.7 which those days is a not good choice.

System spec:
Operating System: Ubuntu 16.04.6 LTS
Kernel: Linux 3.4.39-BPI-M3-Kernel
Architecture: arm

Unfortunatelly it's the freshest one..

System is updated and upgrated. I have installed python 3.7.7 as well as pip3:

pi@bpi-iot-ros-ai:~ python -V Python 2.7.12 pi@bpi-iot-ros-ai:~ python3 -V
Python 3.7.7
pi@bpi-iot-ros-ai:~ pip -V pip 20.0.2 from /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pip (python 2.7) pi@bpi-iot-ros-ai:~ pip3 -V
pip 20.0.2 from /home/pi/.local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/pip (python 3.7)
pi@bpi-iot-ros-ai:~$ update-alternatives --list python3
/usr/bin/python3.5
/usr/bin/python3.7

For pip3 I have had to implement a work around with alias (alias pip3='python3 -m pip'). Without that I received a following warning:

pi@bpi-iot-ros-ai:~$ pip3 -V
WARNING: pip is being invoked by an old script wrapper. This will fail in a future version of pip.
Please see https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/5599 for advice on fixing the underlying issue.
To avoid this problem you can invoke Python with '-m pip' instead of running pip directly.
pip 20.0.2 from /home/pi/.local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/pip (python 3.7)

Virtualenv is already installed.

According to Octoprint installation guide from

Checkout OctoPrint: git clone https://github.com/OctoPrint/OctoPrint.git
Change into the OctoPrint folder: cd OctoPrint
Create a user-owned virtual environment therein: virtualenv venv if your system default python version is python 2.7, otherwise you need to specify the version explicitly, e.g. virtualenv --python=python2.7 venv .
Install OctoPrint into that virtual environment : ./venv/bin/pip install .

ed 3) While my default python version is 3.7 both:
virtualenv --python=python3.7 venv
virtualenv venv
are equal.

pi@bpi-iot-ros-ai:~/octoprint/OctoPrint$ virtualenv --python=python3.7 venv
created virtual environment CPython3.7.7.final.0-32 in 2334ms
creator CPython3Posix(dest=/home/pi/octoprint/OctoPrint/venv, clear=False, global=False)
seeder FromAppData(download=False, pip=latest, setuptools=latest, wheel=latest, via=copy, app_data_dir=/home/pi/.local/share/virtualenv/seed-app-data/v1.0.1)
activators BashActivator,CShellActivator,FishActivator,PowerShellActivator,PythonActivator,XonshActivator

pi@bpi-iot-ros-ai:~/octoprint/OctoPrint$ source venv/bin/activate
(venv) pi@bpi-iot-ros-ai:~/octoprint/OctoPrint$

So far so good.
ed 4) But here is a tricky part for me. How to solve following:

(venv) pi@bpi-iot-ros-ai:~/octoprint/OctoPrint$ ./venv/bin/pip install .

Seems like the python headers need to be installed for the particular version of python you are using.

Thank you so much my friend for that perfect hint! I own you a beer You saved my work, one more time big thanks!

What I was missing here indeed was:
sudo apt-get install python3.7-dev

BTW: is there any possibility to run Octoprint's plugin from python 2.7 under lastes Octoprint?

Python 2.7 is still supported and remains the default in pre-built images such as OctoPi. Plugins listed in the repo will list which version of python they are compatible with.

Mariusz_Zawierucha · April 25, 2020, 9:32pm

Ok, I incorrectly specyfied a question. What I've meant was situation while I have got installed Octoprint 1.4.0 using python 3.7 as default (so plugins wrote in 2.7 are not compatible). Is there any work around to use it with a such setup?

kantlivelong · April 25, 2020, 9:37pm

You would have to run py2.7 to use any plugins that haven't been updated for py3. If you are ambitious you can likely fork the unsupported plugin and update it to py3 compat then submit a PR to the maintainer.

Most of the time these are dependency-issues. Python.h is used by GNU Compiler Collection (gcc) to build applications. You need to install a package called python-dev for building Python modules, extending the Python interpreter or embedding Python in applications. You encounter "Python.h: No such file or directory" error while trying to build a shared library using the file extension of another language ( e.g. 'C' ). If you are trying to build a shared library using the file extension of another language, you need to install the correct development version of Python.

Reason for this error:

You haven't properly installed the header files and static libraries for python dev.
Also, sometimes include files might not be default in the include path.

How to solve this error:

Install the missing files and libraries.
Include Path and Library.
Finally, Compile it.
