Trying to npm start /wave/website

[annahubbard]

Hello! I am trying to adda button on website/src/pages/index.js but I cannot get the installation instructions going. I have made a virtual env and activated it through the anaconda prompt
conda create -n venv
conda activate venv
Then i go to wsl terminal and try to install and start in the same dir
https://github.com/h2oai/wave/blob/master/website/README.md
git clone https://github.com/h2oai/wave.git
cd wave/py
make setup
make docs
cd ../tools/showcase
make setup
make generate
cd ../../website
make ci
but my code fails on make setup

Checking out files: 100% (34/34), done.
python3 -m venv venv
The virtual environment was not created successfully because ensurepip is not
available. On Debian/Ubuntu systems, you need to install the python3-venv
package using the following command.

apt-get install python3-venv

You may need to use sudo with that command. After installing the python3-venv
package, recreate your virtual environment.

Failing command: ['/mnt/c/users/anna/desktop/try_os_sad/wave/py/venv/bin/python3', '-Im', 'ensurepip', '--upgrade', '--default-pip']

Makefile:17: recipe for target 'setup' failed
make: *** [setup] Error 1

Hi @annahubbard.

You first need to setup your dev env prior to running the website project.

I have made a virtual env and activated it through the anaconda prompt

We do not use anaconda anywhere when installing from sources, everything should be automatically setup for you when running make all from the root of the project.

The virtual environment was not created successfully because ensurepip is not
available

Seems like a WSL problem, quick google search yielded this SO question so I suggest starting there and making sure you are able to create a virtual env via pip as it's necessary for the whole project setup. Also make sure you meet all software prerequisites.

Thank you!
Is this the last thing to see after running make all
The command prompt is just hanging here

Some packages can take even 10-15mins to build. You may try this tip, but it should run to completion eventually.

Other quick-fix is to temporarily remove opencv-python from py/examples/requirements.txt since you will most likely not need it anyway.
