I am working on an application that needs installation for airnotifier, I have followed the installation instruction in the following link:

https://github.com/dcai/airnotifier/wiki/Installation-3.x

on the last command of running app.py I got the following error

airnotifier@airnotifier:~/airnotifier$ pipenv run python app.py
app.py:73: DeprecationWarning: The 'warn' function is deprecated, use 'warning' instead
  logging.warn("Sentry dsn is not set")

I checked the permissions of the files and searched a lot but couldn't find a way to solve this problem

  • looks like the permission errors might be with ports/socket not files. Did you run with `sudo`? what port is it trying to use? – Esther Jul 18 '22 at 20:27
  • @Esther when I use sudo I got the following error sudo: pipenv: command not found – Amira Elsayed Ismail Jul 18 '22 at 20:34

  • yes, I am not sure why the instructions say to install `pipenv` only for `--user` but then use with `sudo` (as root). Perhaps you need to install pipenv for root as well, if you need to use it as root. – Esther Jul 18 '22 at 20:37
  • @Esther OK I will try install it again, Thanks a lot for your help – Amira Elsayed Ismail Jul 18 '22 at 20:37
  • @Esther this command fix the issue of sudo not found : sudo -H pip install -U pipenv but now I am facing another problem ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'tornado' – Amira Elsayed Ismail Jul 18 '22 at 20:49

You need to run with sudo, as stated in the installation instructions you linked. As you see, the error comes from trying to bind a socket to a port. Most probably it's trying to use a privileged port (<1024), which can only be done with elevated permissions (ie sudo).

If you are facing these issues:

error: <class 'PermissionError'>, [Errno 13] Permission denied: file: /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/supervisor/xmlrpc.py

you need to use sudo like restart celery then sudo supervisorctl restart all
