`nikola` command does not run

[marsianjohncarter]

Environment

Python Version: 3.11.5

Nikola Version: Installing through pip

Operating System: Ubuntu 24.04

Description:

I installed nikola as it was told here: https://getnikola.com/getting-started.html
But when I run the command "nikola":

Illegal instruction (core dumped)

I activated the environment through the command source bin/activate

[Kwpolska]

An illegal instruction is unlikely to be caused by Nikola, it might be caused by Python or some dependency. Please run NIKOLA_DEBUG=1 venv/bin/python --verbose -m nikola so we can try to find a likely cause.

Try `python -h' for more information.

I didn’t remember the specific argument, so I assumed it has a long name, but it doesn’t. Try;

NIKOLA_DEBUG=1 nikola-env/bin/python -v -m nikola
