Syntaxerror: Invalid Syntax To Repo Init In The Aosp Code

I have tried to repo init the source code Ubuntu build machine and it is successfully able to clone the code. repo init -u git@github.com:xxx/xx_manifest.git -b xxx Now I am trying

Solution 1:

try these commands

curl https://storage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo-1 > ~/bin/repo
chmod a+x ~/bin/repo
python3 ~/bin/repo init -u git@....

Solution 2:

I just had the same issue and this resolved it for me :

• Download last version of repo : curl https://storage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo-1 > repo
• Change right to make it executable : chmod a+x repo
• Run your repo init with python3 and the "repo" you just download : python3 repo init -u git@github.com:xxx/xx_manifest.git -b xxx

Solution 3:

I have experienced the same issue on Ubuntu 18.04 during the installation of the OpenSTLinux Yocto layer with the following command:

repo init -u https://github.com/STMicroelectronics/oe-manifest.git -b refs/tags/openstlinux-5.4-dunfell-mp1-20-11-12

Returns:

This issue goes away with using Python3 instead of Python (2.7). You can do this:

sudo rm /usr/bin/python
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/python3 /usr/bin/python

Solution 4:

Try below command to make it will work 100%, tried & suggested

mkdir -p ~/.bin
PATH="${HOME}/.bin:${PATH}"
curl https://storage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo > ~/.bin/repo
chmod a+rx ~/.bin/repo

Solution 5:

One solution is to modify the first line of /usr/bin/repo and change it from

#!/usr/bin/python

to

#!/usr/bin/python3

This asks the system to use Python3 instead of the default Python.
