Installation Problem

[xrb12250]

Hi Aaron,

the setup script fails to successfully install indi-allsky:
**** Python virtualenv setup ****
mkdir: cannot create directory ‘/home/pi/indi-allsky/virtualenv’: Permission denied

Trying to use sudo or root fails because of your checking routine...

Any ideas?

System is a pi 4 with a clean install raspbian light (buster)

Ok solved the problem with additional sudo's

echo "**** Python virtualenv setup ****" [[ ! -d "${ALLSKY_DIRECTORY}/virtualenv" ]] && sudo mkdir -m 755 "${ALLSKY_DIRECTORY}/virtualenv" if [ ! -d "${ALLSKY_DIRECTORY}/virtualenv/indi-allsky" ]; then sudo virtualenv -p python3 ${ALLSKY_DIRECTORY}/virtualenv/indi-allsky fi

As expected, the whole installation is now somehow screwed up 😄 I'll give it another try

Did you perform the git checkout as root or something? You probably just need to change the ownership of the git checkout.

sudo chown -R pi /home/pi/indi-allsky

I have updated the setup.sh script to fix the ownership of the git checkout if it is incorrect.

This works now, but there are some new problems now, I'll open a new issue.
