followed this and ended up with..

reading manifest file 'gmvault.egg-info/SOURCES.txt'

reading manifest template 'MANIFEST.in'

writing manifest file 'gmvault.egg-info/SOURCES.txt'

running build_scripts

running install_lib

creating /usr/local/python/lib/python2.7/site-packages/gmv

error: could not create '/usr/local/python/lib/python2.7/site-packages/gmv': Permission denied

This was after running ./venv/bin/pip install gmvault

Any ideas?

Oh.. I think I know why.. it's because venv version of PIP wasn't installed.

The step earlier gave this error:

/volume1/homes/Matt/gmvault $ python virtualenv.py venv
New python executable in venv/bin/python
Cannot find sdist setuptools-.tar.gz
Cannot find sdist pip-.tar.gz

which I ignored... hehe.

So basically I tried following the steps exactly, but after installing Python in the DSM Package Manager, it's not actually available in the CLI. So I manually added /volume1/@appstore/python/bin to the /root/.profile PATH.

Maybe that's causing issues? mmm
