Help to get Network Render working with Unbuntu 18.04

Help,

I'm trying to get Network Render working on Ubuntu 18.04

I've tried the GUI LuxCore Network Render button and a -sudo pip3 install PySide- on terminal

It seems that Python-3.6 pip3 (which is what I get using -apt install python3-pip-) is not supported to install PySide

I can't figure out a way to install a supported version like Python-3.4 pip3, if it makes any sense

Any help, would be greatly appreciated

Leo

Edit: I'm using BlendLuxCore 2.3 w/OpenCL support

Have you tried with PySide2 ? What LuxCore version are you using ? We droped PySide1 at one point :?:

Sorry, I forgot to mention, I'm using BlendLuxCore-v2.3-linux64-opencl, thanks a lot Dade

I've installed Python-Minimal (2.7.17), pip and managed to get PySide2 installed

After trying again the GUI LuxCore Network render button I had some errors so I've installed pip3

Trying again now it's popping up -You need PySide. Install it now?-

pip install --upgrade virtualenv pip
python3 -m pip install virtualenv pyinstaller
python3 -m pip install virtualenv PySide2

Ubuntu has 2 version of Python, v2.7 and v3.x. They are not compatible so you must be careful on what you use (python or python3) and what you install (for python or python3). It is quite confusing. LuxCore needs Python v3.x stuff.

Fox's suggestion to use virtual env. is a quite good hint.

Dade, Fox, thanks a lot,

Following this helped to run the PyLuxCore Tools from Blender (2.82a)

sudo apt install python3
sudo apt install python3-pip
