PROS on Linux

[psarobotics]

Anyone here using Pros on Linux? I’m running Archlinux and would really like to not have to use a Windows vm like I have been doing the past few years to run RobotC. I’m excited for the new release.

PROS is designed to work on Linux…

Processing ./Packages/pros-cli
Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “”, line 1, in
File “/tmp/pip-req-build-peinwvld/setup.py”, line 4, in

Command “python setup.py egg_info” failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-req-build-peinwvld/

I think PROS for Linux is for debian-based Linux distros.

That’s probably what’s causing an issue with the install.

Make sure you install all the packages listed here (except Atom if you will use some other IDE):

Specifically, check that you have the last 2 Python packages.

That’s a problem introduced in pip versions >=10. One temporary workaround is to downgrade pip for the install. We apologize for the inconvenience.
