cannot install brownie with pipx

[s1n7]

Hello!

I'm unable to install brownie with pipx. pipx itself installed successfully.
python3 -m pipx ensurepath also worked great. After this command, I ran a new terminal as suggested.
pipx install eth-brownie however does not work. gives the following error message:

Thank you in advance!

I highly recommend install eth-brownie in a virtualenv, try doing this:

pip3 install virtualenv

Then create a new virtual environment

virutalenv nameyouwant

Activate it (windows)

.\FolderName\Scripts\activate

finally install eth-brownie using pip:

pip install eth-brownie

This adds more steps that's true, however gives you more control about which libraries you want depending on the project you are on.

Note: do not forget to install ganache-cli (globally or for the env) using pip.
Note2: I also recommend a lot you try to do this on WSL2 (windows subsystem for linux)

I hope this info helps.

Hello @cromewar,
I am facing the same problem as @s1n7, but your solution does not work for me. I would like to ask you for a help.
In the step number three, you are referring to activation:

.\FolderName\Scripts\activate

(I guess the FolderName is the "nameyouwant" from the step number two, right?)
It does not work for me. Instead I get:

bash: ./venv/scripts/activate: No such file or directory

So I tried this:

sudo ./venv/bin/activate

but it still does not work, unfortunately. I got:

sudo: ./venv/bin/activate: command not found

Any idea what am I suppose to do, please?
I am running Linux Debian 64 bit in Virtual Box in Windows 10.

Hello @haraslub I gave those instructions as it was a windows installation, on linux is easier, use this command:

source venv/bin/activate

this is all you need.
