Installation error

[Larralde22]

Hello,

Had to set up bit curator on a new laptop and wanted to get the GUI on it. I have run into issues running it as I get this error consistently:

aps@aps-ubuntu:~/brunnhilde-gui$ sudo ./install
Requirement already satisfied: pyqt5 in /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages (5.15.10)

All of the requirements are met on the computer. Does anyone have any ideas why this is happening? I did have to work around the externally-managed-environment by running pip at the root so that could be an issue. Thank you in advance for any help.

what's your working directory at the point you run: aps@aps-ubuntu:~/brunnhilde-gui$ sudo ./install?

e.g. pwd to see that.

I ran pwd and it came back "/home/aps/brunnhilde-gui"

hmm, okay, thanks, I was just checking as the install script has an rm -rf call at the beginning of the script and i wondered if that was interfering. It's not immediately clear what might be the issue with all the files in /home/aps/brunnhilde-gui it should find them 🤔

Hi @Larralde22, sorry you're running into trouble! What's the output if you run ls -al . from within the /home/aps/brunnhilde-gui repo? I'm wondering if the files weren't cloned correctly, or if there might be a permissions issue.

(thanks for the assist, @ross-spencer !)

Hey @tw4l ,

thanks for getting back to me. Here is the output after running the command:

aps@aps-ubuntu:$ cd brunnhilde-gui
aps@aps-ubuntu:/brunnhilde-gui$ ls -al

@tw4l Just wanted to check in on this if there is something missing in the files.

Best,

Hi @Larralde22, apologies for the delay!

It seems like some of the files that I would expect to be in ~/brunnhilde-gui have been moved, or are possibly in the brunnhilde-gui subdirectory (I'm not sure what's going on there, as I wouldn't expect that to exist).

I'd suggest removing this directory and cloning a fresh copy of https://github.com/tw4l/brunnhilde-gui/ somewhere on your machine (it doesn't really matter where) and running the installation script from there.

Let me know if that works for you!
