Hi, you seem to be running pybombs and/or the app\_store.py as root, although the prefix they use seems to be your home directory, making root privileges unnecessary. Using sudo therefore most likely messes up your paths, and thus things go wrong. Don’t use sudo when you’re using a home-directory prefix. Greetings, Marcus ---
