Alfresco ansible setup issues !!

Team,

I am following hyland link : Ansible Deployment for ansible deployment, I performed below steps on my brand new virtualbox ubuntu 22.04.

Steps I followed as :

Step 1: setting up ansible

$ sudo apt update

$ sudo apt install software-properties-common

$ sudo add-apt-repository --yes --update ppa:ansible/ansible

$ sudo apt install ansible

Step 2: setting up locale in ubuntu

sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y locales && sudo locale-gen en_US.UTF-8 && sudo update-locale LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8

Step 3: Setting up python libraries

Big problem is here, hyland document suggest 3.12, inside command they using 3.11 and by default ubuntu contains 3.10 which is not supported here.

https://alfresco.github.io/alfresco-ansible-deployment/deployment-guide.html#additional-requirements-for-python-312-on-ubuntudebian

command 1 :

sudo apt-get install pipenv

command 2:

sudo apt-get install python3.11 python3-pip

python3.12 -m venv venv [not working, as per installation documentation it is 3.11, tried with 3.11 is also not working]

commnd 3:

source venv/bin/activate [ command not working ]

command 4:

pip3 install pipenv

step 4: Install ansible dependencies via pipenv

pipenv install --deploy

while running above command itself we are having issues:

ERROR :

ubox01@ubox01:~/alfresco-ansible-deployment$ pipenv install --deploy

Traceback (most recent call last):

class RequestsCookieJar(cookielib.CookieJar, collections.MutableMapping):

AttributeError: module 'collections' has no attribute 'MutableMapping'

================================

I request Hyland to revise their document and provide proper step by step to execute, most of users facing issues setting up environment itself even before alfresco.

Please test it properly , since I use fresh instance and shown each command I have used, and followed document and it is failing.
