Installing gitpython

Post by drmacro »

In this thread it is recommended to install pip, then install gitpython

https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?p=502258

It links to the install instructions for installing pip. There it proposes for Linux to use:

Code: Select all

sudo apt install python3-venv python3-pip
I get that pyrhon3-pip is what is needed. But, is the python virtual environment really needed?

(Bare with me, I have in the past, used pip to install things and totally wrecked the python environment, to the point that not only would FreeCAD not run or compile, but not even an appimage would run. And it took a few days to figure how pip clobbered what. So, I'm a bit gun shy of pip... :roll: )
