Stuck installing Lean in ubuntu 16.04

I know the way I have set up the config file is not for python. but I just wanted to see if it worked for Csharp. I tried it with python. that didnt help. 

I get this error when i change the config file.  I just changed this: 

// Algorithm language selector - options CSharp, Python

"algorithm-language": "Python",

//Physical DLL location

//"algorithm-location": "QuantConnect.Algorithm.CSharp.dll",

"algorithm-location": "../../../Algorithm.Python/BasicTemplateFrameworkAlgorithm.py",

This is the error:

Hi Martin,

We recommend following this documentation to setup local debugging for Python in VS Code.

Best,

Hey Martin, Derek, and everyone,

So I tried reinstalling this on a few new linux distribution.

MX-Linux (debian base), PopOS (ubuntu base), and Manjaro (arch base).

Each time I get the same error.

Error response from daemon: No such container: LeanEngine
The terminal process "/bin/bash '-c', 'sudo docker stop LeanEngine'" terminated with exit code: 1.

Also, nothing shows up in the call stack on VS code.

None of these problems happened the first time I installed it on a well used ubuntu distro. Clearly I'm doing something wrong.

We're not able to sustainably provide support for making LEAN work on every NxNxN combination of distros and local environments but we've abstracted it away to support them all via Docker and the LEAN CLI. Please check out the CLI to get LEAN running nicely locally for you.

Just in-case anyone else is trying to test NxNxN linux distributions because I love me some linux.

For manjaro (arch based), just got it working locally, thanks to 1) QuantConnect_Lean's recently updated install guide on github. 2) these two videos:

3) on arch linux 

-A): pamac install mono-msbuild

-B) then using msbuild instead of dotnet in the following two cases:

--Compile Lean Solution:

dotnet QuantConnect.Lean.sln

change to: msbuild QuantConnect.Lean.sln

Run Lean:
cd Launcher/bin/Debug
dotnet QuantConnect.Lean.Launcher.dll
change to: msbuild QuantConnect.Lean.Launcher.dll

Getting msbuild and dotnet to work took a few weeks of running into a brick wall. So, I'm glad to help getting it to work locally on linux.

*These problems are related to other software and unrelated to QuantConnect's code. 

You're brave Foren Power! 😁 Any reason you don't like the CLI? 

I’m just a tinkerer. even through sometimes frustrating…into trying to understand the basic parts. 

Actually a big fan of the CLI. It’s 10x easier.  
 

-By the way, Martin, anything I can do for you? Hope you got what you wanted too!
