Python server does not start correctly after installation

[Arachnid]

After following the installation instructions from the README, and running npm start, I get the following error:

$ npm start

> rotkehlchen@ start /Users/nickjohnson/Downloads/rotkehlchen
> electron .

At not packaged: script:/Users/nickjohnson/Downloads/rotkehlchen/rotkelchen/server.py port: 4242
child process success on port 4242
CREATED PYPROCESS
python subprocess killed with signal null and code 1

Running python -m rotkehlchen gives the following error:

$ python -m rotkelchen

Hey Nick!

I see you are trying to use Python 2.7. Try with latest python 3. Rotkehlchen only supports python 3.

It is also be mentioned in the readme.

Same issue here, similar but not identical output.

$ python -m rotkelchen
Traceback (most recent call last):

I am using python 3.6.4

@LefterisJP Oops, I missed that, sorry.

[LefterisJP]

@Arachnid Tell me if it works after that.

@chevdor I see this is OSX. Unfortunately rotkehlchen at the moment only supports Linux. I have only tried it in 2 different Linux distros. Eventually OSX and Windows will be supported but need to find the time or someone to help me do it.

Seems that for some reason pysqlcipher3 was not properly installed. Have you managed to install sqlcipher in OSX? Pysqlcipher depends on this system package.

[chevdor]

I realize that the issue I am running into has probably nothing to do with the one Nick initially ran into. I don´t want to highjack this issue and will open another one more OSX related.

[LefterisJP]

@Arachnid hey Nick is this still an issue?

[LefterisJP]

I assume this is no longer an issue @Arachnid.

The source installation has been updated and the documentation can be found here.

Also if you are in Linux and OSX you can get the packaged binaries of the latest release.

If you have additional problems using it please open other issues.
