Build SU2 on Ubuntu

lqliang1222 · July 1, 2024, 08:44

When I was building SU2 according to the instructions, "https://su2code.github.io/docs_v7/Build-SU2-Linux-MacOS/",an error appeared on the screen. How should I solve it?

Program python3 found: YES (/usr/bin/python3)

meson.build:16:0: ERROR: <PythonExternalProgram 'python3' -> ['/usr/bin/python3']> is not a valid python or it is missing distutils

You need to install distutils:

sudo apt install python3-distutils
