Hello @12D687

Is jinja installed in your pipx venv or your system site-packages?

[12D687]

Neither. It is installed locally
/home/user/.local/lib/python3.11/site-packages

[igo95862]

You probably need to install it in to the same venv as your meson.

[12D687]

Yes it worked, but now I'm unable to install it

[igo95862]

Probably because then meson uses sudo it will no longer be able to use your venv.

I did not test using the venv to install bubblejail. I think I will revisit using pipx and venv for non-packaged downloads in the future to replace the meson install.
