I'm trying to try supertokens, but get this from the get-go:

snafu$ npx create-supertokens-app@latest
Need to install the following packages:
  create-supertokens-app@latest
Ok to proceed? (y)

Hi @reece_hart The CLI required node 14 as a minimum, seems like you are using node 12

Indeed, v12.22.9. Thanks

Happy to help

That worked, but a new issue...

? What is your app called? my-app
? Choose a frontend framework (Visit our documentation for integration with other frameworks): Vue.js
? Choose a backend framework (Visit our documentation for integration with other frameworks): Python (FastAPI)
? What type of authentication do you want to use? Social Login + Email Password

Then,

snafu$ npm run start

> my-app@0.0.1 start
> npm-run-all --parallel start:frontend start:backend


> my-app@0.0.1 start:backend
> cd backend && pip install virtualenv && virtualenv venv && source venv/bin/activate && pip install -r requirements.txt && python app.py


> my-app@0.0.1 start:frontend
> cd frontend && npm run dev


> vue-prebuilt@0.0.0 dev
> vite

Defaulting to user installation because normal site-packages is not writeable

What operating system are you using?

linux (ubuntu 22.04, stock except for the nodejs upgrade)

Hmm can you open an issue about this on the create-supertokens-app repository?

It appears that the backend isn't set up correctly. I can activate the venv, then pip install requirements, which clearly had not already been installed. I assume that they're supposed to be.

The CLI uses source as a command to run it which isn’t installed on your system which is the problem. You can install it separately and then try running the app again to get around this and in the meantime we will fix this

I don't think that's it. The error is from sh. source is a command in bash (and other shells), but the equivalent in the stock Bourne shell (sh) is simply

.

. Whoever is issuing the source should either do it in bash or perhaps use

.

.

Yep that’s what I meant by this
