Ubuntu 6 error: pip3 install steem-piston

[jcalfee]

There is probably something wrong with my Python environment. I really have not done much other than install the python3 and python-pip3 packages. Any idea what is going on here?

pip3 install steem-piston

"sudo pip3 install steem-piston"

That worked for me

PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/usr/local/bin/wsdump.py'

As user you can't write into that directory. Either install as root or append --user to the pip call .. The executable will then be installed into ~/.local/bin

I also highly recommend you run pip3 install scrypt --user

I found a workaround: sudo pip3 install steem-piston
