With this command on Ubuntu 24.04, I get an error:
error: externally-managed-environment
× This environment is externally managed
╰─> To install Python packages system-wide, try apt install
python3-xyz, where xyz is the package you are trying to
install.If you wish to install a non-Debian-packaged Python package, create a virtual environment using python3 -m venv path/to/venv. Then use path/to/venv/bin/python and path/to/venv/bin/pip. Make sure you have python3-full installed. If you wish to install a non-Debian packaged Python application, it may be easiest to use pipx install xyz, which will manage a virtual environment for you. Make sure you have pipx installed. See /usr/share/doc/python3.12/README.venv for more information.note: If you believe this is a mistake, please contact your Python installation or OS distribution provider. You can override this, at the risk of breaking your Python installation or OS, by passing --break-system-packages.
hint: See PEP 668 for the detailed specification.
How did you work around this?
Following the suggestion from this error message, I used these packages instead installed via apt:
python3-cffi python3-cryptography python3-flask python3-launchpadlib python3-simplejson python3-requests python3-pytest

I also needed:
python3-flask-cors python3-dotenv

Let's update below this line to mention the src/config/supported_distros.py.example file, text with something like:
Copy src/config/supported_distros.py.example to src/config/supported_distros.py to tell SDT where to find the sources:
sudo -u apache cp src/config/supported_distros.py.example src/config/supported_distros.pyAnd then continue to the section that says "The src/config/supported_distros.py must now be updated to reflect..." since I believe all of that is fine.

First question, did you have a problem with the npm package installed via apt? That's preferred over grabbing a static install script for maintainability and security, but if that wasn't working, it would be great to know what the problem was.
That said, running the following as-is installs npm as your regular user, so the apache user doesn't have access to run npm install later, I just get "command not found"
How did you get it so you could run npm install?
| sudo npm i | ||
|
|
||
| ```bash | ||
| npm install |

As noted above, I tried a few things, but I didn't succeed in getting this running. There was either no access to the npm binary, or permissions issue (run as my user), or it wouldn't work (when I used the Ubuntu package).

Good news! I was finally able to get this going using the package from Ubuntu (sudo apt install npm) and by running:
sudo -u apache npm install
sudo -u apache npm run startAnd navigated to http://IP_ADDRESS:3000/
