Etheno cannot activate Ganache-cli

You need to have ganache-cli working, otherwise etheno will fail. Which error you have when running the command directly?

@ggrieco-tob Hi sir, when I directly run the 'ganache-cli' command in my terminal under node 12, there would be error occurring as below:

Uhm, interesting. Can you please open an issue showing that error in the ganache repository: https://github.com/trufflesuite/ganache/issues ?

@ggrieco-tob Yes sir, I created a discussion post on ganache repo, you can refer to this link: trufflesuite/ganache#2875
I will switch to node 12.0.0 and try it again 👍

@ggrieco-tob Hi sir, I switch to node 12.0.0 and install ganache-cli. Now the ganache-cli can operate properly when I directly activate it. But when I use Etheno, the same error occurs:

So currently it seems there are some problems with Etheno. By the way, after I install Etheno, when I type 'Etheno' in the terminal, it shows 'command not found', I searched on the internet and found the solution is to enter the two commands below:
$ echo "export PATH="python3 -m site --user-base/bin:$PATH"" >> ~/.bashrc
$ source ~/.bashrc
After typing these two command, I can activate Etheno, but still it cannot work with Ganache-cli properly.

Currently the two possible reasons I can think of are:

1. The Ganache-cli I use currently is the newest version v7.0.4, Etheno may not be compatible with this new version.
2. I am currently use python3 version v3.7.8, the pip verison I use is 22.0.4, Etheno may not be compatible with this python 3 version.

I think the first reason might be more possible, maybe I can try installing older version of ganache (for instance, the version developed 2 years ago).

I tried Ganache-cli in my node 16, and used it with Etheno together, it can work properly now
