VirulenceFinder docker pip3 not found

Question

[A_heath]

Hi all,

I would like to install VirulenceFinder but I have an issue with docker and pip3. When I follow the guide to install the software, I have to build a Docker container using the following command:

docker build -t virulencefinder .

But the following error message is returning:

/bin/sh: 1: pip3: not found The command '/bin/sh -c pip3 install -U biopython==1.73 tabulate cgecore==1.4.2;' returned a non-zero code: 127

However, pip3 is installed because when I type:

pip3 --version

I have this:

pip 21.1.2 from /home/administrateur/miniconda3/lib/python3.8/site-packages/pip (python 3.8)

So do you have any idea on why I got this error message? Is there a way to solve that?

Thank you for your help,

are you using an ubuntu/debian image? you should install pip with python3-pip. If you are planning to use Miniconda, a continuumio/miniconda3 image is a better option.
