I’m trying to install Qubenix instructions Electrumx
electrumx@host:/home/user $ virtualenv -p python3 ~/exvenv
created a CPython3.9.2.final.0-64 virtual environment in 798 ms
CPython3Posix creator(dest=/home/electrumx/exvenv, clear=False, no_vcs_ignore=False, global=False)
seeder from AppData(upload=False, pip=bundle, setuptools=bundle, wheel=bundle, via=copy, app_data_dir=/home/electrumx/.local/share/virtualenv)
added source packages: pip==20.3.4, pkg_resources==0.0.0, setuptools==44.1.1, wheel==0.34.2
activators BashActivator,CShellActivator,FishActivator,powersellactivator,PythonActivator,XonshActivator Activator
Link the installed packages to the virtual environment: (my Python version is 3.9)
electrumx@host:/home/user $ ln -s /usr/lib/python3/dist packages/* ~/exvenv/lib/python3.9/site packages/
ln: failed to create symbolic link ‘/home/electrumx/exvenv/lib/python3.9/site-packages/pip’: The file exists
ln: failed to create symbolic link ‘/home/electrumx/exvenv/lib/python3.9/site-packages/pkg_resources’: File exists

ln: failed to create symbolic link ‘/home/electrumx/exvenv/lib/python3.9/site-packages/wheel’: File exists
At the end, I start the server and run
sudo journalctl -fu electrumx

I suppose that the problem is in the Python version.
I install dependencies in the Whonix-ws-16 Template with the commands
sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y **python3**-virtualenv python3-aiohttp
