<p><font size="2">Hi Mick,</font></p>
<p><font size="2">the recommended way is to install eric-ide in its
own virtual environment. This does not need to be activated.
Actually I never activated any of my environments used for
testing eric-ide with various Python versions. By having an
eric-ide runtime environment you avoid messing with your system.</font></p>

Linux Mint. I recently started to use a virtual environment, just
one which is ~/.env
<br>
<br>
Today Eric would not start from the menu, but it started from
command line. I reinstalled and it is now working from menu
again, but it did raise a question in my mind.
<br>
<br>
I install eric by following the commands under "Linux and macOS"
on the website. I ran this with my venv enabled, but should I
install it that way or should it be with venv disabled, or does it
make no difference?
<br>
<br>
Thanks for a great software package!
