I am trying to install fpylll from a repository on Ubuntu 18.04 The fpylll instruction in README.rst says that after Automatic install you should do

$ source ./activate

but I get a notification:

/ bin / sh: 1: source: not found

why it happens? I thought the source is in bash by eliciting? How to solve this problem?

  • After I ran the command: PYTHON = python3 ./bootstrap.sh I get a notification: Installed /content/fpylll/fpylll-env/lib/python3.7/site-packages/fpylll-0.5.6-py3.7-linux-x86_64.egg Processing dependencies for fpylll==0.5.6 Finished processing dependencies for fpylll==0.5.6 Don't forget to activate environment each time:

  • Then, as you wrote, I ran the command: ./activate As a result, nothing was displayed in the terminal. Then I ran my script and got notifications that the module is missing: Traceback (most recent call last): File "script.py", line 35, in <module> from fpylll import LLL, BKZ, IntegerMatrix ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'fpylll'

  • I have Ubuntu 18.04 but the script needs to be run on Python3. From the [documentation] (ubuntu.pkgs.org/21.04/ubuntu-universe-amd64/…), this only works on Ubuntu 21.04. Then I decided to install fpylll via repositories. But don’t know what the problem is?

  • hi @DewDebra. Activate only sets enviroment variables to point to the Libs and bootstrap.sh is a shell script. Take a look at github.com/fplll/fpylll/blob/master/bootstrap.sh on lines 33-39 and 50-55. Those lines set enviroment variables.

  • So you need to set your enviroment correctly to be able to run it. what do you get with "env" and "env python" commands.
