Something isn't working right
Bug description
When following the instructions here to deploy PostHog locally, I wasn't able to install one of the required python libraries,
xmlsec
, particularly pip wasn't able to build the wheel.Online search suggested that
libxmlsec1
was updated to 1.3.0 on 4/12/23, and this latest version does not work with pip install. There is a temporary workaround that revertslibxmlsec1
back to1.2.37
, which eventually allowed me topip install xmlsec
and deploy PostHog locally. Please see more details about the workaround hereHow to reproduce
Follow the instructions here to deploy PostHog locally:
Environment
docker compose
, version/commit: main branch @ e962afaAdditional context
My machine is macOS x86.
I don't think there's anything for PostHog team to fix at this time besides maybe inserting a note about the issue and the workaround on the
Deploying locally
page just like many other existing notes, which were super helpful in my experiment.Thank you for your bug report – we love squashing them!
