Can't build on Ubuntu

[wilba]

I hate to be that guy who is clueless about what exactly is going wrong, but I really want to try out this software and can't get this to build in a fresh Ubuntu virtual machine.

Before I bother you too much with what's going wrong, can you tell me the exact version of python that I should be using to install, as it is ambiguous and depending on which version I try to use, I get different errors.

There's also some errors due to upgrading pip3 to a point where even running pip3 with no args will fail with syntax errors, I think because it's using a python older than 3.x

Just want a known good starting point to try first and then I can show you error logs while trying to get it installed.

Yeah this was my bad, was using Ubuntu 16.04, switched to Ubuntu 20.04 and it installed fine.
