Django "compilemessages" error: Can't find msgfmt (GNU gettext) on Ubuntu VPS
I am trying to compile translation messages in my Django project by running the following command:
python manage.py compilemessages
However, I get this error:
CommandError: Can't find msgfmt. Make sure you have GNU gettext tools 0.15 or newer installed.
So then I tried installing gettext.
sudo apt update && sudo apt install gettext -y
After installation, I still get the same error when running python manage.py compilemessages.
Checked if msgfmt is installed by msgfmt --version but it says: command not found
OS is Ubuntu and Django version is 4.2.5.
How can I resolve this issue and make Django recognize msgfmt? Any help would be appreciated!
I've got the point.
After deactivating the virtual environment, I tried installing gettext.
Now it is okay.
