Build fails on step 5/25 with error code 1

[Askleapeos]

Expected Behavior

It should complete building.

Current Behavior

After executing $ docker-compose -f local.yml build per manual, it fails with error code 1 on step 5/25.
This is the error:

Step 5/21 : RUN python3.6 get-pip.py

Solution

According to this source (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python-pip/+bug/1773794); there is a bug, or should I say a new requirement, in Ubuntu 18.04. So, we just have to add “python3-distutils” in the installation packages of the file .\concept-to-clinic-master\compose\base\Dockerfile-dev and everything builds fine. The final file should look like this:

RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y tcl tk python3.6 python3.6-tk wget python-opencv python3-distutils

Steps to Reproduce

http://concept-to-clinic.readthedocs.io/en/latest/developing-locally-docker.html#run-tests

1. $ docker-compose -f local.yml build

Context (Environment)

It should affect all platforms.

Checklist before submitting

• I have confirmed this using the officially supported Docker Compose setup using the local.yml configuration and ensured that I built the containers again and they reflect the most recent version of the project at the HEAD commit on the master branch
• I have searched through the other currently open issues and am confident this is not a duplicate of an existing bug
• I provided a minimal code snippet or list of steps that reproduces the bug.
• I provided screenshots where appropriate
• I filled out all the relevant sections of this template

I met exactly the same problem while running the bulid command on my macOS 10.13, what should I do to fix it? It seems that there's no python3-distutils on mac platform.

@sunnnset The only supported configuration is to build within Docker, which creates the image on top of Ubuntu. We just merged the above PR, so building on Docker will work now.
