It should work as it is partially supprtetd: https://docs.nordicsemi.com/bundle/nrf-connect-desktop/page/os_support.html

I recommend that you create a new ticket for this topic and we can solve it there.

I am trying to follow the instructions for Linux manual installation.

At some point it requires:

pip3 install --user west
echo 'export PATH=~/.local/bin:"$PATH"' >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc

pip is not going to work on Ubuntu 2024.4 LTS or later (the Python installation is locked).

I do not think I have your version of python active at that point.

The question is:

How do I get to have your Python venv loaded
where is it installed

At that point I guess I would have to activate your venv and then proceed.

Did you follow the setup from the guide here? It should work fine.

Here is the latest release: https://docs.nordicsemi.com/bundle/ncs-2.9.1/page/nrf/installation/install_ncs.html

Pleas create a new ticket and share the errors as well.

Its a local environment that gets the Python, not system.

I have a similar problem and when I try to install manually I get blocked during Python modules installation.

I have tried to install using pipx; the problem is that pipx does not accept requirements.txt files.

I have activated the virtual environment used by pipx and I could use pip there and continue.

After the installation I still get errors.

One question: which Python environment is used by nrfConnect and VSC+nrfConnect addon: the system Python or the pipx local Python?

Ubuntu 24.4 LTS and the more recent non LTS versions hog the system Python installation and prevent installing anything not blessed by Ubuntu outside a virtual environment.

Do you get the same error in both cases when you use Toolchain manager and if you try to run the west commands?
