Installation instructions need a correction

I am trying to set up the development env on Manjaro linux. I ran the bootstrap script for Arch which installed all of the packages with no issue. However, I run into an issue when running make dev which gives me the following error https://pastebin.com/d0eHU8uw

Looks like some kind of pipenv issue. Try updating pipenv to the latest version and try again, if this continues to not work you may need to send info on your setup to the pipenv tracker

I'm not exactly sure what I changed but the error has now changed to this. I have literally tried everything.

Does a manual install of the latest version of pycodestyle, the offending package, help?

Yes it gets rid of the error in make dev but still make run does not work. Here is the error. https://pastebin.com/8ZL4RsQT

Oh, I never actually tried those two make options since I took up the mantle on Guake, usually I run make and make install. I can observe similar messages with dev and run, can probably put a patch togethor to get those working

Oh, so you just reinstall every time you make a change? This has to be updated then: https://guake.readthedocs.io/en/stable/contributing/dev_env.html because that's where I was getting info on how to set up the dev environment.

Been occupied but I'll mark this with a good first issue and hope someone swings in for hacktoberfest

The installation instructions are in the file docs/source/user/installing.rst I believe. Most of the discussion on the process has been talked over in this issue, but make sure you actually install guake yourself from source so that you know first-hand what the process is because that's pretty important if you're going to be writing instructions on how to do it

@Davidy22 Could you please assign it to me.

techrajdeep avatar Oct 10 '22 06:10 techrajdeep

Just make the pr and send it in, don't need to be assigned anything
