ubuntu 18.04 - rocksdb & old python

[AndreiD]

so it doesn't work with rocksdb...you have to add --leveldb as a parameter
also you have to upgrade python to python3.7

install python3.7 and
sudo update-alternatives --config python3

....maybe you can include this somehow in the install script, if you have the time :)

It works fine in the Travis tests: https://travis-ci.org/github/bauerj/electrumx-installer/jobs/732800035

Please give more information. What doesn't work? How does it fail? What did you do?

[AndreiD]

so this is what i did:
got a brand new ubuntu 18.04

run your install script. it fails at rockdb something...
tried to run it with --leveldb... now it fails at pip not found. installed pip, fails at python3.7 (default on ubuntu 18.04 is python3.6)
install python3.7 and point python3 to go to python3.7

installed again with --leveldb, everything works ok now.

[bauerj]

it fails at rockdb something...

Okay, I will need more information to figure out what causes this.

I just want to also say that it isn't working with stock ubuntu 18 due to an older version of python, but it works just fine with stock ubuntu 20.04
