After following the install guide of https://github.com/MycroftAI/mycroft-precise on a ubuntu virtual machine. i copied the sample python program into /mycroft-precise/runner/sample.py
When i run the sample program i get the following output:

user@user-VirtualBox:~/Desktop/project/mycroft-precise$ source .venv/bin/activate

I am not sure what i should do to make mycroft-precise work.
The file .venv/bin/precise-engine exists and is executable. If i move sample.py to some other place it can’t find precise_runner.

Did you run the setup script after cloning the repo?
