I have installed pyq by following the instruction from https://pyq.enlnt.com/install/install.html#install.

I created a virtualenv py2 and downloaded kdb+ from https://kx.com/download/software-download.L.php?agree=willa382*-fyeERA332880aa2013 and unpacked it inside py2 

unzip /home/username/Downloads/linuxx86.zip -d py2

Then installed pyq 

pip install -i https://pyq.enlnt.com --no-binary pyq pyq

After that I typed 

pyq

Now I am getting the following error

qbinpath = /home/usename/py2/q/l64/q
qbinpath = /home/username/q/l64/q
No such file or directory

I have searched for the qbinpath variable. It is inside a binary file at location

 /home/username/pyq/path/to/virtualenv/bin/pyq

As such I am unable to run pyq in ubuntu.

Kindly help.

In order to run PyQ, you need to have Python and kdb+ of matching architectures installed. From your description, it appears that you have a standard 64-bit Python and attempt to use it with the free 32-bit edition of kdb+. This does not work and pyq rightfully complains that it cannot find an "l64" version of q in various directories.

Building a 32-bit Python on a 64-bit host Linux for use with the free kdb+ can be a challenge and we only have instructions for CentOS 7.

It may be easier to use a 32-bit VM with a 32-bit Ubuntu if you want to use PyQ and don't have a kdb+ license.

set the QHOME to the top level folder, that has m32/q in it and then start pyq.
