Installation failure

[bric3]

Hi there, I tried to install gmvault via pip, however the setup failed, I'm not familiar at all with python. Did I got something wrong ?

$ pip3 install gmvault

$ python3 --version
Python 3.8.6

You need to use Python 2.7 instead of Python 3.8.

@vladimir-poleh Thanks, indeed !
The stacktrace wasn't straightforward, I ended up installing gmvault in a custom docker image with python 2.7.

Here a snipplet for installing Python2.7.18 in $HOME/.bin/Python2 and gmvault in a virtualenv in $HOME/.bin/gmvault_env (necessary on Debian 11 Bullseye):

## here we install Python2.7.18
sudo apt-get install -y libssl-dev <&-
pathprog="$HOME/.bin/Python2"
rm -fRr "$HOME/.bin/Python2"
mkdir -p "$pathprog/static/bin" "$pathprog/static/lib"
cd "$pathprog"
wget https://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7.18/Python-2.7.18.tar.xz
tar xvfJ Python-2.7.18.tar.xz
cd Python-2.7.18
CXX=/usr/bin/g++ ./configure --prefix="$pathprog/static" --datadir="$pathprog/static" --enable-optimizations --enable-ipv6 
CXX=/usr/bin/g++ make
CXX=/usr/bin/g++ make install
cd "$pathprog"
wget -O "$pathprog/get-pip.py" https://bootstrap.pypa.io/pip/2.7/get-pip.py 
$HOME/.bin/Python2/static/bin/python2 get-pip.py --python-version 2 --only-binary=:all: --target "$pathprog/static/lib/python2.7/site-packages" --force-reinstall
$HOME/.bin/Python2/static/bin/python2 -m pip install --upgrade pip==20.3.4
$HOME/.bin/Python2/static/bin/python2 -m pip install --upgrade virtualenv


## here we install gmvault
$HOME/.bin/Python2/static/bin/python2 -m virtualenv $HOME/.bin/gmvault_env --python=$HOME/.bin/Python2/static/bin/python2 
source $HOME/.bin/gmvault_env/bin/activate
pip install --upgrade gmvault
deactivate
cd
echo -e "#\041/bin/bash
source $HOME/.bashrc
source $HOME/.bin/gmvault_env/bin/activate
cd $HOME/.bin/gmvault_env/bin/
$HOME/.bin/gmvault_env/bin/gmvault \"\$@\"
cd -
deactivate
exit 0" > $HOME/.bin/gmvault_env/gmvault
chmod a+x $HOME/.bin/gmvault_env/gmvault
if [[ "$(cat $HOME/.bashrc | grep "gmvault_env/gmvault")" == "" ]]; then
  echo -e "alias gmvault=\"$HOME/.bin/gmvault_env/gmvault\"\n" >> $HOME/.bashrc
fi
declare -a bindirs=("$HOME/.bin/gmvault_env")
if [[ "$(cat $HOME/.bashrc | grep -P "^PATH=" )" == "" ]]; then
  echo -e "PATH=\"\$PATH\"" >> $HOME/.bashrc
fi
for binfolder in "${bindirs[@]}"
do
  if [[ "$(cat $HOME/.bashrc | grep -P "^PATH=" | grep "$binfolder")" == "" ]]; then
    sed -i -e "s/^PATH=\"\(.*\)\"/PATH=\"\1:$(echo "$binfolder" | sed "s/\//\\\\\//g")\"/g" $HOME/.bashrc # place with no spaces in it
    export PATH="$PATH:$binfolder"
  fi
done

If you want to save emails in $HOME/.gmail-backup, you can now use gmvault in bash terminal with a command like
gmvault sync -d $HOME/.gmail-backup --resume [email protected] | tee $HOME/.gmail-backup/gmail.com.log 2>&1
or in a bash script (where bash aliases may not be working) with a command like
$HOME/.bin/gmvault_env/gmvault sync -d $HOME/.gmail-backup --resume [email protected] | tee $HOME/.gmail-backup/gmail.com.log 2>&1

@vladimir-poleh Thanks, indeed ! The stacktrace wasn't straightforward, I ended up installing gmvault in a custom docker image with python 2.7.

May I ask you to share the dockerfile here please @bric3?

@pke Sorry, I switched jobs, and I forgot to backup a few things, like this dockerfile
