I'm having a hard time setting up the project in local (Linux mint)

[wasimTQ]

Frontend dependencies installed fine. I'm having issues installing the backend dependencies. I had python3.10 in my machine as default. But the just py-install command required python3.11 so I installed it and other packages. Here's the error message I got when I tried to install the backend dependencies.

Installing dependencies from Pipfile.lock (950988)...

I'd like to know what am I doing wrong

Hi @wasimTQ. This issue seems likely to be an environment specific Pipenv issue, not something to do with Openverse's specific usage. For that reason, we won't be able to help extensively with debugging this.

That being said, I did a quick search of the Pipenv issues on their GitHub, and pipenv --rm in the directory of the app which failed to install its dependencies (could be automations/python or documentation) and then re-running just py-install may solve the issue. However, please do refer to Pipenv's issues list for solutions and open an issue there if you continue to run into difficulties.

@wasimTQ I'm closing this discussion now. If you'd still like to contribute to Openverse and are still unable to run it locally after following the instructions I've shared, please let us know.
