I'm not sure if this is really good practice, but today it's like that. To get documentation for your chosen version, please see the 'docs' directory in the kallithea source distribution and find the appropriate rst file. You could also generate the html pages via 'make html' inside the docs directory, after having installed the required dependencies. Since you already have trouble setting up the virtual env this may be a step too far.

When you say kallithea user, do you mean me, or do you mean that I shall

Yes, I recommend running Kallithea as a separate user to control how it
can interact with other system users.
You *could* run Kallithea as you (especially if evaluating or
developing), but for production it should be a separate user.
Other than creating the installation directory (which could be

active the virtualenv first (or run binaries in the virtualenv's bin

`
DOH. Now i notice what I think Thomas mentioned earlier. Kallithea does
indeed require Python 3.6 or later. And it seems like your system is
using 3.5?
Which Ubuntu version are you using now? I guess they have later Python
versions available as standard packages, properly namespaced to avoid
conflicts. If creating the virtualenv with for example python3.8, your
/srv/kallithea/venv/bin/python3 and everything in the venv will use that
too.

Ok. If using less common choices, some documentation will not apply

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.

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

Yeah, but I think at this point Mads is most likely right, it is time to

See section "Shell Builtin Commands" at: https://linux.die.net/man/1/bash The 'activate' script is provided by virtualenv/venv and sets certain environment variables, like PATH to make sure the right python executable and libraries are used. This would not be possible of the script were directly executed, as opposed to source'ing it, because environment variables set by a program or script do not impact its parent (shell) process, only the program/script itself and its children. Note that virtualenv/venv will use the python3 found in PATH, so if you only have python 3.5 you will still not be able to install kallithea. If you can install python 3 6 or later in another way, you can make sure to call that python executable instead of 'python3', e.g python3.6 -m venv ../kallithea-venv There exist ways to install a specific python version as a normal user, e.g. with pyenv (https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv) or other similar tools. You could also install a python version from source manually.

how to install kallithea from source
Hi Since I cannot install kallitea via pip (my python version in Ubuntu 16.04 is too old) I thought to give the installation from source a try. The documentation in https://kallithea.readthedocs.io/en/stable/installation.html Reads , | hg clone https://kallithea-scm.org/repos/kallithea -u stable | cd kallithea | python3 -m venv ../kallithea-venv | . ../kallithea-venv/bin/activate | pip install --upgrade pip setuptools | pip install --upgrade -e . | python3 setup.py compile_catalog # for translation of the UI ` I don't understand the lines python3 -m venv ../kallithea-venv . ../kallithea-venv/bin/activate Is this supposed to be one line? What does the . At the beginning of the second line supposed to be?
