synapse can't install/launch

[gychang]

on the latest VP64, as illustrated synapse seems to have installed but in the /etc/synapse folder it is empty, no hidden files. It fails to launch and no menu entry.

Is there a fix?

Is this a Python package ........... matrix-synapse ?

In terminal:

vpm i python3

then in ROOT create a directory named ' venv '

once again in terminal

python3 -m venv ~/venv

then finally

~/venv/bin/pip install matrix-synapse

followed your instructions and at the end I enter synapse in the terminal and there is "bash: synapse: command not found"

Seems like synapse application launcher should be available in voidpup64..., but can't seem to install... Any help? Just to be clear I would like to install synapse, an application launcher similar to prun, gexec... not matrix-synapse.

Your install command is not finished... the version needs to be included.

An EXAMPLE in voidpup64 20241009

vpm install synapse-1.115.0_1

a newer version of voidpup64 may have a newer version of the file.

In void pup go to root and click on packages then packages-void-current
SCRoll down to near bottom to find synapse... the version will be attatched to name.

you don't need a new python pkg., just finish the install file-name.

I was able to install vpm i synapse-1.121.1_1 but no response when I type in synapse in terminal and nothing in the menu or /usr/bin...

hmmm, installed an OLDER version. VoidPup being a rolling release, you might have to vpm UPDATE the whole system. Unfortunate this broke... maybe PM peebee first.

I hope installing python has nothing to do with this, else another strike against Jasper for borqing a puppy member.
