Question : SyntaxError: Invalid syntax to repo init in the AOSP code

Answer : The problem is I think python version. So run the repo init with python3 and the repo you just downloaded will solve your problem.

Solution 1

The problem is I think python version. So run the repo init with python3 and the repo you just downloaded will solve your problem.

Just Follow below Command

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

This will solve your issue.

Solution 2

To Solve this issue follow below steps

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

Double-check you Python version between:

your Ubuntu build machine (where the repo init works)
your VM Ubuntu machine (where the repo init fails)

Check here Same error here, with the error suggesting you are executing python2 with a PYTHONPATH that’s only appropriate for python3.

Solution 4

Just modify the first line of /usr/bin/repo and change it from

#!/usr/bin/python

#!/usr/bin/python3

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