Install tool in Linux

[smedir]

I see that the tool should run on Linux. I am trying to install the tool with the instructions provided. pip and pipx packages are for Darwin and will not install and give an erorr. I created a venv and could not complete install from a cloned git repository with the given instructions with similar errors-

pip._vendor.packaging.version.InvalidVersion: Invalid version:

I do not have a mac anymore, and the photos library is rsynced/archived on a zfs backup. I would appreciate any help installing on linux command line.

It used to run in linux. Sometime in last month, it stopped working but even old versions that used to work no longer work. I believe the issue has something to do with pipx or pip but I've not had time to figure out what is going on. I noticed this recently with the CI workflows that tested OSXPhotos on Ubuntu stopped working.

I opened #1604 for this.

Try this:

python3 -m venv venv-osxphotos
source venv-osxphotos/bin/activate
python3 -m pip install osxphotos

This worked for me on Ubuntu. Something about running from the venv appears to let this work. In the mean time I need to figure out what's actually causing this (it's somewhere down the dependency chain)

Thanks! that works. Now to dig out all the photos from the backup!

Thank you for this wonderful tool. It looks awesome.
