[raidsm]

Hi!

I would like to install Home Assistant with requires python 3.5 Is there a easy way to install python 3.5 on the Network Space 2?
I know there is a add-on but the python version is 2.7....

many thanks!

There is an issue with compatibilety of some programs why we need stick to 2.7. Of course I could try to compile version 3 for you as special add on. But remember some other addons will not be compatible with it and no longer work. I will give it try coming week

I succeeded to compile it, it must be installed as addon

Unpack the zip fil to get the tar.gz archive and put the file in fvdw/addons folder connect via ssh and unpack it /direct-usb/fvdw/addons

Code: Select all

cd /direct-usb/fvdw/addons
tar -xzvf  usr-local-python-3.6.4-3mar18.tar.gz
cd /

Furthermore a few new libs must be installed in /usr/lib, see second archive
put it fvdw share and when connected to via ssh give command

Code: Select all

cd /usr/lib
tar -xvf /direct-usb/fvdw/libgdbm5-libgdbmcompat4.tar

I checked it and python worked.
