Missing Python header files

[Golddouble]

I have tried to install Vorta with this description:

Install from Source

The most generic way is to install it as Python package using PIP. First install Borg using the package of your distribution or via PyPI. The latter needs some additional source packages. Then install Vorta from PyPI. Your local Python version must be >= 3.6.

$ pip3 install vorta

Python is installed also pip3 is installed. The process worked great until here:

Something seems to be wrong. But what? And what can I do?
Thank you.

You're missing Python headers required to compile Qt & friends. You're distro will generally have them.

[Golddouble]

Thank you.

Python3 is installed by default in my distro, but it seems, not all packages. (?)

So what package do I have to install exactly in addition? Is it in this list?:

Thank you.

[ThomasWaldmann]

python3.x-dev is the usual name on debian-like lists.

[Golddouble]

Thank you.

Yes, I have a debian based distribution.
I have found the package "python3-dev" in Synaptic. It was not in the PI of my distribution.

I am a step further now. But there seems still to be something wrong:

First, I would recommend against using the "Install from Source" instructions - you shouldn't have to install all the python libs globally. I've just opened #584 to see how the documentation can be changed.

If you want to install from source, something like pipx install vorta should be more appropriate (you'll probably need to apt install pipx first). This way Vorta gets a nice, isolated environment without polluting the global Python installation.

Now, the problem you are seeing is probably due to using an old version of pip. This is expected with the system python - system python packages are managed with apt and the system's pip is only really used to bootstrap virtualenvs.

[Golddouble]

Thank you.

The reason why I tried out the "install from Source" method is only because I was hoping to solve this issue:
#554

Question:
With your installation method in ubuntu you suggest:
Are you able now, to run this command as "post-back-command"? :
speaker-test -t wave -W /home/user/.SoundsEreignis -w pluck.wav -r 11025 -l 1

?

Or this:
<paplay /path/to/file>

[ktosiek]

I don't really understand how to use speaker-test with a custom file, but paplay worked without problems as a pre/post-backup command. pipx runs Vorta unconstrained, not in a sandbox - it's a bit like a python-only, per-user /opt :-)
