It was all the same as last night as far as
instructions.
I spent hours on it last night, and with the same
error in Ubuntu, I said screw that package.
I know it isn't me, if it made the same error on
two different systems.
I should report it on the github page, but I don't
have an account on github and I don't know where on the page to report
it.
The program works in windows 10, but the only
windows 10 I have is not on a portable computer, and the nanoVNA is best used as
a portable device.

Often in the "make" file there
are instructions, read them and do what it says.

Well
having given up on the hopes of installing nanovna-saver to my Debian
system, I tried to install it on my Ubuntu system.
I did the git clone
thing again, and went into the nanovna-saver directory,
and ran
sudo
make deb
and I got the same error, it couldn't find a setuptools file to
use.

Why not
try cat nano-vnasaver | strings | less and find what shows up?
The pipe
through strings will only pass strings to less so your screen
doesn't get
messed up. If one of the first lines in that file is
something like
#!/usr/bin/env python then this is a python package and
maybe source code
too in which case will need compiling.
