Hi,

we are trying to install qatrack+ on a Ubuntu Linux Machine Ubuntu 20.04.2

We followed the install instructions from https://docs.qatrackplus.com until the following command:

pip install -r requirements/postgres.txt

Which results in following error message

Hi,

try installing libfreetype-dev and libpng-dev and then try pip install -r requirements/postgres.txt again.

sudo apt install libfreetype-dev libpng-dev

Also double check that you are in your virtual environment (source ~/venvs/qatrack31/bin/activate)

with kind regards

Thomas

HI Claudio,

Since you're doing a new installation, I would recommend you start with the release candidate for v3.1 rather than the latest version: https://docs.qatrackplus.com/en/v3.1.0rc1.2/install/linux.html . Otherwise, as Thomas said, installing freetype and png support should allow mpl to build.

Hi all,

I am also trying a new install on Ubuntu.

I got the same error and tried as suggested above installing freetype and png support. I was still getting an error with freetype, managed to get past it with also using:

sudo apt-get install pkg-config

Though it looks like I am now getting an error with scipy farther along in pip install -r requirements/postgres.txt

I am curious if you tried this solution or using v3.1 and had any luck?

Thank you,

Carolyn

Hi Carolyn,

What error are you getting? Either way if you're doing a fresh install I would recommend just going with v3.1 at this point. It's quite stable and will be a simple update to the final release for you when it's available.

Hi Randy,

Okay - yes I will likely start over.

This is the error:

Note: if you need reliable uninstall behavior, then install

with pip instead of using `setup.py install`:

- `pip install .` (from a git repo or downloaded source

release)

- `pip install scipy` (last SciPy release on PyPI)

Hi Randy,

Do not worry about the error. I started over with v3.1.0RC3 and it is up and running for me!
