How to run it on Linux without root permission? about pyrobox HOT 12 CLOSED

It seems using global package (for any Linux) causes some compatibility issue. So @charlesCXK I'll need to keep the sudo for now (required only once) to call apt/pkg/yum

And keeping this issue open

from pyrobox.

@charlesCXK now sudo is required only if you want to download the requirement (sudo apt-get install p7zip-full)
otherwise that specific feature won't work (download folder as zip)

from pyrobox.

can you please elaborate the issue?

This program doesn't need root permission AFAIK unless you don't have p7zip-full installed on your machine, then it only calls sudo apt install p7zip-full
If you don't want it to be called, manually install it so that the program can call 7z from console.
I don't have any Linux (except my phone) at this moment. So your info may help me improve it

Thanks!

can you please tell me if it runs fine without sudo ?? if not, I'll have to test and modify (waiting for your response 😅)

Using os.system instead of subprocess.call might work

Using os.system instead of subprocess.call might work

subprocess.call is safer than os.system (and the issue is not here)

from pyrobox.

adding a prompt and avoiding the installation might work

Working on it.... (Mannnn linux uses too many ways to download package, figuring out how to make them work at once)

from pyrobox.

7zip-promt-install branch should work

Nevermind, found a way to download and use it without installing ✌️ (@rexackermann will need your help to check)

@charlesCXK in a day or 2 sudo/root will no longer be necessary

from pyrobox.

@charlesCXK now this project no longer needs sudo

unless you want to run it as command
like $./local_server.py instead of python3 local_server.py
