Using a clean fresh brand new machine and following the docs, I’m getting an error I can’t get past.

debian@pentestsource:~/source/ospd-openvas-21.4.4$ python3 -m pip install . --prefix=$INSTALL_PREFIX --root=$INSTALL_DIR --no-warn-script-location

Hi,

I’ve just tried to take a look at your problem but following the docs I wasn’t able to reproduce the issue. Maybe the installed pip version for the user is to old? Could you try running python3 -m pip install -U pip and try again the steps from the docs?
