Install on Clear Linux error no module named Plotman

[JSher1]

Fresh install of Clear Linux(server) on Intel machine.

I followed the setup instructions, created the yaml file and when I try to run plotman with plotman plot it throws the error:

line 5, in <module> from plotman.plotman import main ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'plotman'

Any ideas?

Thanks

Do you have the chia venv activated?

[JSher1]

Yes, tried it from a regular command window and from the venv. Also tried python -m plotman plot

[JSher1]

I tried to reinstall under venv. It was then looking for the plotman.yaml file in /root/.config/plotman. I put it there and started using: plotman plot and it gave me:
...starting plot loop
...sleeping 20s: (True, 'Starting plot job: chia plots create etc (over and over)

It does this every 20s including starting a log file in the log directory but does not write to the temp drives...

Read the log files. It'll probably tell you what is wrong. I've had that a happen a few times, for me, it was permissions on the tmp folder.

So when I first installed Plotman it was under an admin account. It installed and the Plotman.yaml was under /home/user/.config/plotman. Received the above error

I then reinstalled under chia venv and it moved the Plotman.yaml under /root/.config/plotman

Plotman would run under venv however plots were throwing an error that chia was not init...

Ended up I had to run under root permission and its running fine now.

Thanks for your help

Best not to be running any of this stuff as root, at least in 'normal' cases.
