Ah this is a bash thing, I have used only tcsh all my life and haven't
come across that.
Ok. If using less common choices, some documentation will not apply
directly ;-)
https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/venv.html#creating-virtual-environments
hints that you might be able to source activate.csh instead. Or just use
bash for this.
But I still don't understand
cd kallithea #OK
python3 -m venv ../kallithea-venv #OK
. ../kallithea-venv/bin/activate #OK
pip install --upgrade pip setuptools # this is system wide
No, it is not system wide. When the virtualenv is activated, it will
modify PATH to start with ../kallithea-venv/bin/ where it's own pip (and
python) "binaries" are available - they will work inside the virtualenv,
not globally.
Since you are not running as root, there is also no way it could have
modified anything system wide.
pip install --upgrade -e . # this is system wide
python3 setup.py compile_catalog # for translation of the UI
Now I get
pip install --upgrade -e . # this is system wide
ERROR: File "setup.py" not found. Directory cannot be installed in editable
mode: /home/oub/src
Are you still in the directory of the kallithea source (with a setup.py)?
pip install --upgrade -e .

Ok so this is impossible. Sigh
No, it is not impossible. You just didn't activate the virtualenv - thus
the later commands doesn't work as intended. Either use bash, or
activate your csh.
Then I checked the documentation about virtualenv
python3 -m venv /srv/kallithea/venv
Gives me an error
Permission denied: '/srv/kallithea'
So shall I run this as root?
I suggest creating /srv/kallithea as root, and chown it to the kallithea
user. (I am trying to tweak the documentation based on your input and
already had some draft changes to this.)
I am a bit confused about who (root or normal user) to install and
where, globally in the system or in .local
Other than creating the installation directory (which could be
elsewhere), there should not be any global or .local changes. Just
active the virtualenv first (or run binaries in the virtualenv's bin
directory).
