I am trying o install the Thonny IDE for Python and MicroPython development:
As the root user, I first tried the suggested installation script with curl -s https://thonny.org/installer-for-linux
as suggested in the instructions:
https://github.com/thonny/thonny/wiki/Linux
However, this throws the following error:
Code: Select all
Can't offer alternatives as your system doesn't seem to have usable Python interpreter.
I then installed python3
from Gslapt, tried the script again, but get the same error.
I then tried the alternative installation method and downloaded the latest tar.gz version:
https://github.com/thonny/thonny/releas ... _64.tar.gz:
Code: Select all
tar -zxvf thonny-4.1.4-x86_64.tar.gz
> cd thonny
> ./install
This will create the Thonny icon in the menu and I can start the IDE. However, if I switch to a normal, non-root user, I am not able the start the IDE any longer and the menu item is broken.
Could you please guide me how to correctly install Thonny and make it available for all standard users?
Thank you!
