✍️ Description

This PR fixes the n8n installation failure on Debian 13 (Python 3.12+) by adding the missing python3 and python3-setuptools dependencies.

Problem

The n8n installation script fails when installing n8n on Debian 13 containers because Python 3.12+ no longer includes the distutils module in the standard library. When npm install -g n8n runs, it attempts to compile the sqlite3 native module using node-gyp, which requires distutils. This results in the error:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'distutils'

Solution

Added python3 and python3-setuptools to the dependencies in install/n8n-install.sh. The python3-setuptools package provides the distutils module that node-gyp requires for compiling native Node.js modules.

Changes

  • Added python3 and python3-setuptools to the apt install command in install/n8n-install.sh

Testing

✅ Tested successfully on Debian 13 LXC container:

  • Debian 13 template
  • python3-setuptools (78.1.1-0.1) installed correctly
  • n8n (1.118.2) installed without errors
  • sqlite3 compiled successfully without distutils errors
  • n8n service running and accessible at http://192.168.180.27:5678
