Folks,
Have just acquired a NanoVNA - installed on NanoVNA-saver on OSX no problem but I have an old but powerful laptop running Xubuntu 18.04LTS that I want to use as a dedicated workshop machine.
I have tried to follow the instructions here:
When I type "python3.7 nanovna-saver" I get a lengthy tracedump (between the "***"s:
***
Traceback (most recent call last):

Original exception was:

I'm not familiar with Python and it appears that something may not have been installed as part of the Python3 installation. I followed the guidance on the github site closely but I don't seem to be able to get past this error.
Grateful for any input.
Best regards,
Ian
