Chia wallet installation problem in Linux-mint 18.2

Support

Hi,

This is my first time in this forum. I am trying to install a chia-wallet in Linux-mint 18.2 to mine chia coin. I followed the steps mentioned on https://www.chia.net/ and downloaded the file from Github. After following all steps, the command

. ./activate

gives me the following error:

bash: ./activate: No such file or directory

I am using default python3.7 in anaconda.

Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks.

Hello, anybody home? Did anybody have this kind of problem in past? Does anybody have any idea to solve this issue?

Thanks in advance.

You need to be in the chia-blockchain directory when you run that command.

Thanks for the reply. Yes, I ran the command from the chia-blockchain directory.

The error is telling you the activate file doesn’t exist. Please run “pwd” and “ls” and reply with the results.

This is odd. The file is missing. Did you run the installer?
sh install.sh

If yes, did you get any errors?

Yes, there is no activate file inside chia-blockchain directory. When I ran “sh install.sh”, there was some error related with updating wine and nginx. I not sure it is the problem.
Here is the all error after “sh install.sh” command:

The problem has to do with your Linux repositories. This article gives a good description on how to fix it (Linux Mint is based off of Ubuntu):
