If python 3.11.x has been installed and from the command line and "python3 --version" returns 3.11.x that should work.

For the time being, in the installation script for aiverify-dev, "setup-aiverify-dev.sh", either comment out or delete the following lines:

'''
#Check if Python3 is installed
#required_py_ver="Python 3.11"
#if ! which python3 &>/dev/null; then
#echo "Python3 is not installed. Please install Python3, aiverify requires $required_py_ver.x."
#exit 1
#fi
''''

It would proceed to install. I've just done that in a VM running ubuntu24.04 and installed nodejs, pyenv to manage various python versions, set the python to 3.11.9 ("pyenv global 3.11.9) and then proceeded to successfully install aiverify.
