Hi there. I’m newbie. I have followed the instruction on [GitHub - edx/devstack: Get up and running quickly to develop or extend Open edX services](https://github.com/edx/devstack#where-to-find-help) and found difficulties when execute “make requirements” on Ubuntu 20.04. All prequisites have been installed (e.g. make, python3, docker). When executed the command, it said “make: \*\*\* No rule to make target ‘requirements’. Stop.” Any help is appreciated. Thank you. ---

Hello @sashiomarda and welcome to the community! I guess you have some issues with the pip on your system (Ubuntu 20.04) as it does not support `pip` in the light of `pip3`. `make requirements` hits below command under the cover: > Can you check with the above command, whether it is working? ---

Hello @jramnai. Yeah. It worked. Thanks. However another issue came up. The error message below came up when it reached Cloning into ‘edx-platform’ ``` The [edx-notes-api] repo is already checked out. Checking for updates. From https://github.com/edx/edx-notes-api * branch master -> FETCH_HEAD Already up to date.

This has nothing to do with Open edX installation but it failed to clone the `edx-platform` repo 'cause it is a big repo and maybe your internet connection will be slow (which does not support a long connection). You can figure out this issue by changing the ISP or by [following tweaks for slow connection](https://stackoverflow.com/a/6849424). And it is better to create a new topic for new issues, so that in the future people can easily take reference. ---
