Hi Mick,

the recommended way is to install eric-ide in its own virtual environment. This does not need to be activated. Actually I never activated any of my environments used for testing eric-ide with various Python versions. By having an eric-ide runtime environment you avoid messing with your system.

Running Linux Mint.  I recently started to use a virtual environment, just one which is ~/.env

Today Eric would not start from the menu, but it started from command line.  I reinstalled and it is now working from menu again, but it did raise a question in my mind.

I install eric by following the commands under "Linux and macOS" on the website.  I ran this with my venv enabled, but should I install it that way or should it be with venv disabled, or does it make no difference?

Thanks for a great software package!

Mick
