F-Droid server building Error

1

Hi!
I’m installing the fdroid server on a centos server using all steps into the documentation.
When i try to execute this command
python3 setup install
I have the following error:
error: can’t copy ‘locale/bo/LC_MESSAGES/fdroidserver.mo’: doesn’t exist or not a regular file
I notice that in all locale/*/LC_MESSAGES folders there isn’t the fdroidserver

How I can fix the problem and install the fdroid server?
I have gone through explainer videos to get a solution but nothing happens.
I did the whole process to install the fdroid server, but when I went to run the build command, this error occurred:
CRITICAL: No app metadata found, nothing to process!
What I do in this case?

Tnx!

@eighthave you worked on this I think.

How do I ping here? @hans?

you need to have python3-babel installed. Or gettext and make,
then run make -C locale.

I’m trying to install fdroidserver@master on ubuntu xenial. AndI get this problem as well. Here is the full log, note this is after having python3-babel installed, and running make -C locale:

@Williamhawk can you tell me how to set up Python 3 on CentOS? I’d like to set up a CI test, and I have no idea about CentOS. Here’s what I have so far:
