Re: Installing pgAdmin 4 in Runtime Mode (stand alone) in Linux

Oops made the same mistake twice: this is the new python setup:
Can you please remove the virtualenvs folder:

rm -rf ~/virtualenvs

And than redo the updated "Python setup":

pip3 install virtualenv

mkdir ~/virtualenvs/

virtualenv -p python3 ~/virtualenvs/pgadmin4/

source ~/virtualenvs/pgadmin4/bin/activate

That should do it:

~/pgadmin4-2.0/runtime/pgAdmin4
