@Python
I doubt you can install a full python environment on UT since it is not meant for that.

Maybe via Libertine would work -

@DPITTI ,I have deleted your message, because, it contains harmful commands, that if executed could lead to an unbootable device.
Also, your answer was in German, even though you have been repeatedly told in the past to communicate in English on the forums, or at the very least provide a translation with your answer. But the main reason was because of the harmful commands.
Please do not suggest harmful commands to be executed that are known to potentially render the device unbootable. Consider this an official warning.@Python, Are you looking to install a python environment for development purposes? Or just for running scripts? How to best proceed may differ depending on what it is you want to do.

@arubislander Hello, that's all right. I think I know which command is meant by "autoremove". I should have added something else, namely the following, if a package is suggested to be deleted, write it out first and reinstall it. Personally, I have always done it this way. Of course this is a danger for others. But nevertheless, you are absolutely right in this situation. Because a lot depends on the port. The Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 MerlinX port was particularly bad. I learned a lot from Fuseteam there. In this sense, thanks for the feedback. Of course I don't want to destroy any devices! I don't think the device was that good ( MerlinX Port ).

Can I follow this up. I would like to build the UT documentation on my UT device. This requires python3-pip and python3-virtualenv. when running the build.sh file from the repo, it fails with the following:Detected apt Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done Reading state information... Done W: Not using locking for read only lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend W: Not using locking for read only lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock E: Unable to locate package python3-pip E: Unable to locate package python3-virtualenvI guess it could not install. How can I manually install these?

@RJDan said in How can i install pip on ubuntu touch:
Detected apt
You are not supposed to directly install things with apt on Ubuntu Touch. But programs that you would usually install in Ubuntu with apt (or other package managers like pip) can maybe be installed in a container under Ubuntu Touch. This is especially useful for non graphical programs.
One container solution to do this is Libertine: https://docs.ubports.com/en/latest/userguide/dailyuse/libertine.html

@johndoe
So, if I want to edit the UT docs on my UT device, I should do it in a vm? -
@RJDan No, you can edit the docs in UT outside the container.
To be fair you only need the container to install pip3 and create a venv. Once you have some that, you can do the rest outside of the container. I would suggest you create the venv in one of the directories that are shared between the host and the container, like Documents or Downloads. Once created you can move it to wherever you wish. -

So I found a snap package with pip.
I am trying to figure out what to do about python3-virtualenv. When I use apt search to get some more info on this thing it recovers nothing. Is this not available on arm64? -
@arubislander
The snap package seems to have the venv package installed.
How can I safely make the snap package the default call to python3?
