I recently paired up with another dev running windows with Ubuntu running in wsl, and we had a bit of a stuggle to get our project off the ground because they were missing com system dependencies to get going.
Straight in the terminal
Open up a terminal and get your required system dependencies using the apt package manager and the standard ubuntu repos.
sudo apt update sudo apt upgrade sudo apt install \ python3-dev \ python3-pip \ python3-venv \ python3-virtualenv pip install pipx
Using an Ansible-Playbook
I like running things like this through an ansible-playbook as it give me some extra control and repeatability next time I have a new machine to setup.
- hosts: localhost gather_facts: true become: true become_user: "{{ lookup('env', 'USER') }}" pre_tasks: - name: update repositories apt: update_cache=yes become_user: root changed_when: False vars: user: "{{ ansible_user_id }}" tasks: - name: Install System Packages 1 (terminal) become_user: root apt: name: - build-essential - python3-dev - python3-pip - python3-venv - python3-virtualenv - name: check is pipx installed shell: command -v pipx register: pipx_exists ignore_errors: yes - name: pipx when: pipx_exists is failed pip: name: pipx tags: - pipx

Here is a clip of me getting pipx running on ubuntu 21.10, and running a few of my favorite pipx commands.
