I am seeking clarification on how ./sat/sat works

Install & build
1

Hello, dear Salome community.

I am trying to install Salome on Linux Mint (which is based on Ubuntu v24). As per the instructions, I downloaded the archive, extracted it to a folder, navigated to that folder in the terminal and ran the following command: ./sat/sat config SALOME-9.15.0-native --check_system. The output of this command is the following: /usr/bin/env: ‘python’: No such file or directory.

My question is whether the provided output is the dependency that ./sat/sat tells me I am missing for Salome to run, or it is an error that tells me that I cannot run ./sat/sat because I don’t have Python installed.

In the latter case, what Python version do I need to install for ./sat/sat to run?

Thank you in advance.

Ivan

You can either install python-is-python3 and proceed, or use the universal binary which already embeds all its prerequisites.

IMHO the latter is the way to go.

I downloaded the universal Linux archive instead of the Ubuntu-specific one, followed the instructions in the provided README, and it worked! Thank you very much, @NabilG ! I wanted to mark your answer as the solution, but didn’t find a button for that.
