Python package updates [SOLVED]

Post by Jasper »

Hi all (using Fossapup64-95)

I am hoping someone can shine a light on this issue.

I need to update Meson which I can do via terminal when the need arises.

However, the update does not appear to "stick" when rebooting.

So this is the command I am using

pip3 install --target=/usr/lib/python3.8 meson

So, I was wondering do I need to copy over the files and then add them to my Devx.sfs ?

Is annoying as a number of the newer applications require this update before being able to proceed with compiling.

Thanks in advance :thumbup:

Mine shows "meson 1.1.0" version.
Do you have "meson-1.1.0" folder in "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages"?

@sonny

Had to change the location to install correctly to

pip3 install --target=/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages meson --upgrade

this works now :thumbup:
