pip3 install tconnectsync - Permission Error CentOS/RHEL/RockyLinux 8 #48

Closed t1diotac closed 2 years ago

t1diotac commented 2 years ago

Hello,

To perform a pip3 install on CentOS/RHEL/Rocky Linux 8 (mostly an out-of-the-box server install) I had to: sudo dnf install python3 as my "wheel" user. I then created a non-privileged, limited user for tconnectsync: sudo useradd -m t1d And sudo'd to that user: sudo su - t1d

Finally, when initially installing tconnectsync I received:

PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/usr/local/lib/python3.6'

I was able to get past this with: pip3 install --user tconnectsync Which should keep the entire install contained within my user's home directory. Easier for compartmentalizing apps, keeping the OS clean, and trying out different versions/installs/cleanup.

Hopefully that helps someone!

Closing since we got this added in the readme in #50
