How To Do This In a Locked-Down Python Environment?

[richardstevenhack]

This is a problem I see everywhere on Github. Some OS have a locked-down python environment where pip can not be used to install software from a requirements text. openSUSE Tumbleweed, which I use, is one such.

I'd like to see Github projects start to recognize this problem and develop installation methods that don't rely on an open python environment.

I will add docker support soon

Will that fix this issue ?

[richardstevenhack]

Well, it's a solution - for those who like Docker. That's not me, unfortunately. But if the capability of the project is good enough, I probably would use it if it's better than other alternatives. So I would recommend doing that.

Thanks for the response.

sounds like @richardstevenhack needs to get someone to write him a flask/gradio interface to use it, and host it somewhere.
open source software is only useful to people that have their own flexible environment and tools.

a docker/gpu solution would be great, as well - throw on a slim flask/gradio app for less technical folk to use.

I'm even less interested in "flask/gradio" - whatever the hell that is - than I am in Docker.

I run supported software, AppImages and Flatpaks just fine. I run several AIs in MSTY - which is an AppImage.

Eventually most Linux distros will be running in "immutable mode" - nothing but Flatpaks, AppImages and Snaps will be able to be installed. Everyone on Github needs to get the message.
