Hi Salvo,

Which python version do you have installed in your Ubuntu 18.04?

Hi to the community,

In order to install Nest 3.3 in Ubuntu 18.04 WITHOUTH the Docker, I followed two ways:

1)
I downloaded the source zip file from "https://github.com/nest/nest-simulator/tags", then I followed the guide in "https://nest-simulator.readthedocs.io/en/v3.3/installation/linux_install.html#linux-install", in particular the "Installation from source without a virtual Python environment" version.

What I obtain is an error in the terminal:
salvo@salvo-Aspire-GX-781:~/Downloads/nest-simulator-3.3-build$ cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=/home/nest /home/salvo/Downloads/nest-simulator-3.3-build/
-- Host triple: x86_64-pc-linux
-- Target triple: x86_64-pc-linux
CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake-3.23/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:230 (message):
  Could NOT find Python (missing: Python_INCLUDE_DIRS Python_LIBRARIES
  Development Development.Module Development.Embed) (found suitable version
  "3.8.13", minimum required is "3.8")

2)
I also tried to force the following Ubuntu commands to obtain, from the ppa repository, the Nest version that I need (this is the ppa nest site: https://launchpad.net/~nest-simulator/+archive/ubuntu/nest):

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nest-simulator/nest
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nest=3.2-0~202202100714~ubuntu18.04.1

But is seems that the only package that is downloaded from this ppa is nest 2.20, in particular: 2.20.1-0~202103121402~ubuntu18.04.1.	

What can I do to install Nest 3.3 in my Ubuntu 18.04?

Best,

Salvo
