Linux installation Error with "Update Instructions"

[CodesoundR]

Linux Mint 22_x64 Cinnamom

Hi,
I try to install ultimatevocalremover into my sistem following "Linux Installation (Updated Instructions)" but one step is missing:

The virtual environment was not created successfully because ensurepip is not
available. On Debian/Ubuntu systems, you need to install the python3-venv
package using the following command.

apt install python3.12-venv

You may need to use sudo with that command. After installing the python3-venv
package, recreate your virtual environment.

Failing command: /media/codesound/DATA/SOFTWARE/AI/UltimateVocalRemover/ultimatevocalremovergui-master/venv/bin/python3

in the list provided, the seguent command is missing:
sudo apt install python3.12-venv

but the install don't finish correctly:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Seems like imp was removed in python 3.12.
Try python 3.10 or 3.11 and it should work.

Hi,
Thank you for your reply! I try to install your suggestions, but I'm not lucky: maybe I'm doing something wrong?

The apt repository most likely only provides python 3.12. Also shouldn't replace that if Mint depends on it.
You can use something like pyenv or conda to install and run python 3.10 alongside 3.12.
