Could not install packages due to an EnvironmentError: [Errno 30] Read-only file system:
Solution 1
I'd the same problem in my ChromeOS and I couldn't solve it running chmod -R
in my site-packages
folder. To solve it I had to install pip
only for my user running:
python get-pip.py --user
The only problem is that you have to run pip as a python module python -m pip
, but you can create an alias inside your .bashrc
.
# ~/.bashrc
#
# ...
alias pip="python -m pip"
Solution 2
Run this issue on my local MacOS with pip2.7, trying to install jwt package
sudo pip2.7 install jwt pyjwt[crypto]
...
ERROR: Could not install packages due to an EnvironmentError: [Errno 30] Read-only file system: '/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Extras/lib/python/...'
...
..
No sudo or trying to chmod the read-only file helped. Solved installation with --user parameter:
sudo pip2.7 install --user jwt pyjwt[crypto]

I am trying to follow this guide to install python modules however i don't seem to have virtual environment or pip installed so im trying to get those to continue.
Python 2.7.5 is installed on my cpanel, i want to install extra modules for my scripts. I download:
get-pip.py
usingcurl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py -o get-pip.py
I then try running the python file with:
python get-pip.py
It starts but fails at:
Installing collected packages: pip, wheel
. With error message:Could not install packages due to an EnvironmentError: [Errno 30] Read-only file system: '/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pip'
If i use
sudo python get-pip.py
I get the following error message:
jailshell: sudo: command not found
Thanks
