Dear Easybuilders, I am having troubles trying to install EB 5.2.0 I have installed python3.6 , and I installed EB 5.2.0 from version 5.1.1. But after installation eb 5.2.0 complains about the python version.
So I have installed python3.11 and "activate" pip with "python3.11 -m ensurepip --upgrade" to be able to locate the pip version. Then, I have followed the instructions in : https://docs.easybuild.io/installation/#eb_as_module After passing Step 1 successfully, I've got stacked in Step 2, trying to install it as a module : *Step1: * [easybuild@na10:~/eb/git/easybuild-easyconfigs]$* export EB_TMPDIR=/tmp/easybuild/en_tmp* [easybuild@na10:~/eb/git/easybuild-easyconfigs]$ *python3.11 -m pip install --ignore-installed --prefix $EB_TMPDIR easybuild* ...
