On a fresh Ubuntu 20.04 or 22.04 install, I get the following errors while running

error: legacy-install-failure

× Encountered error while trying to install package.
╰─> privacyideaadm

note: This is an issue with the package mentioned above, not pip.
hint: See above for output from the failure.

Is there any other way to install the current tooling, as there are no packages in the repository to perform an installation through APT.

Thanks for any feedback!

This should be installed in a virtualenv.
However, it seems to be broken.
I can confirm that I also can not easily install it.

Hi jantytgat,

please try this:

virtualenv -p /usr/bin/python3 privacyideaadm
. privacyideaadm/bin/activate
pip install git+https://github.com/privacyidea/privacyideaadm

This works on ubuntu22 and ubuntu20
