Re: Installing pgAdmin 4 in Runtime Mode (stand alone) in Linux - Mailing list pgadmin-support

Thanks for the write up. I've been using "Local Mode" and look forward to trying the runtime. I ran into a couple problems following your instructions. They are probably quite minor, but I am not a Python guy so I have no clue as to how to fix the problems. virtualenv -p python3 gives error: Already using interpreter /usr/bin/python3 You must provide a DEST_DIR So I tried virtualenv -p python3 ~/virtualenvs/ which at least doesn't throw an error but I have no idea if that's correct. And finally, the moment of truth: $~/pgadmin4-2.0/runtime/pgAdmin4 Python path: "/home/rich/virtualenvs/pgadmin4/lib/python3.5/site-packages/" Python Home: "" Webapp path: "/home/rich/pgadmin4-2.0/web/pgAdmin4.py" Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/rich/pgadmin4-2.0/web/pgAdmin4.py", line 34, in import config File "/home/rich/pgadmin4-2.0/web/config.py", line 30, in from pgadmin.utils import env, IS_PY2, IS_WIN, fs_short_path File "/home/rich/pgadmin4-2.0/web/pgadmin/__init__.py", line 17, in from flask import Flask, abort, request, current_app, session, url_for ImportError: No module named flask Rich On Thu, Nov 23, 2017 at 5:46 AM, F.Sluiter wrote: > As it was not very clearly documented anywhere, we would like to share how > best to install PGadmin 4 on linux Mint and Ubuntu 16.04 in a virtual > environment as a stand alone desktop application (without the use of a > browser!). > > PgAdmin 4 can be run in three ways: > > - Server Mode in a web interface > - Local Mode in a web interface > - Local Mode in a standalone/runtime environment > The difference between the web interface and the runtime environment, is > that for the first you require to work from a browser.
