Pipenv: Ubuntu 18.04 ppa error

Created on 18 Jun 2018 · 6Comments · Source: pypa/pipenv

It would be nice adding to the installation instructions how to overcome the following error:

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:pypa/ppa
(...)
Err:11 http://ppa.launchpad.net/pypa/ppa/ubuntu bionic Release                                                                        
  404  Not Found [IP: 91.189.95.83 80]

E: The repository 'http://ppa.launchpad.net/pypa/ppa/ubuntu bionic Release' does not have a Release file.

@acrogenesis I believe the most recommended way (by the community) is to use pip3 install --user and add ~/.local/bin to the front of your PATH.

I tried deb [allow-insecure=yes] http://ppa.launchpad.net/pypa/ppa/ubuntu bionic main but pipenv cannot be found.

I don’t think Bionic is supported on the PPA at all. Why would you think it should work? (honest question, we should clean things up if they give wrong suggestions)

It's not written that bionic is supported, neither it's not (only 17.10 is cited). I thought that this was the case where users are using outdated instructions in more recent (Ubuntu) versions.

Is there a way to install pipenv on 18.04? (I'm fairly new to pipenv)

ppa is not available for 18.04. we're removing support for the ppa, moving forward.
