I have just installed in Ubuntu 20.04 LTS using the requirements-dev.txt requirements and it is working normally. Only problem I had during setup was with PyCrypto, but I could solve installing these packages:

sudo apt-get install build-essential libssl-dev libffi-dev python-dev

(Only for the record, solved it by following the instructions from these StackOverflow answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/58415632)

I confirm mailpile can't Install on Linux Mint 20 (It's Ubuntu focal). I get the same error:

I seguenti pacchetti hanno dipendenze non soddisfatte:
 mailpile : Dipende: spambayes ma non è installabile
            Dipende: python-appdirs ma non è installabile
            Dipende: python-dns ma non è installabile
            Dipende: python-pgpdump ma non è installabile
            Raccomanda: python-stem ma non è installabile
            Raccomanda: gnupg-curl ma non è installabile
E: Impossibile correggere i problemi, ci sono pacchetti danneggiati bloccati.

Why don't you create a snap package? It's indipendent from distribution and version and it would resolve all Python 2 dependencies.

Hello @angerangel ,

I installed Linux Mint 20 in a virtual machine and managed to make Mailpile run. Much of these I got from Getting Started on Linux section

This is what I did:

1 - install python2.7-dev via apt-get 2 - create a virtual environment with "virtualenv -p /usr/bin/python2.7 --system-site-packages mp-virtualenv" 3 - activate the virtualenv with "source mp-virtualenv/bin/activate" 4 - install dependencies with "pip install -r requirements-dev.txt" 5 - Then you're ready to go. Run with ./mp

Let me know if that works for you =D

[angerangel]

ok works! Thank you!

[pisn]

That's great!! =D

[Oymate]

@pisn Will you make a PR based on those steps

[pisn]

Hello @Oymate ! I am not sure this is necessary, since the steps are already described at Getting Started on Linux session on the project wiki.

To facilitate running Mailpile v1 on modern operating systems, I've put together and published and documented "official" Mailpile docker images. See: https://github.com/mailpile/Mailpile-v1-Docker

Mailpile v2 is being written in Python 3, but it's not ready yet.

Thanks everyone for helping out here!
