Thanks Cort, do I need to do this for the HBlink_Bridge.py and the IPSC_Bridge.py files? Also the dmrlink.py and hblink.py? Or is there just 1 command that'll run everything?

If someone can tell me how to make this start and run in the background... what "executable" command do I need to run? I think I have it almost ready to go.

#best_practices #dmrlink #hblink

I *think* I have everything setup. But when I run "python IPSC_Bridge.py" it doesn't login to my cbridge... that is, I don't see it on my Peer Watch or admin Netwatch screen. But it does seem to be lo

I think I see what I did wrong and it worked this time. Onward....

As originally stated, not ALL of the files came down. Some did, some did not. Among those that did not were the *_Bridge files. But the dmrlink-SAMPLE.cfg and such files all came down, along with the

It cloned about 2/3 of the files listed in the github repositories. No errors. I assumed it was by design.

#best_practices #dmrlink #hblink

Nope. I put them in the /opt folder, there were no subdirectories.

#best_practices #dmrlink #hblink

I did that already. Not all files came down.

I understood Steve's comments and ran that command, which worked. /var/log did exist, but the dmrlink dir underneath it didn't. I have successfully connected it to my cbridge now by running the dmrlin

Yes that did it. I'm working on the next part now

That sounds great, no rush. Thanks for your continued help.

OK then I really don't understand why my python install, which was done with steps gathered from this forum, is so much different than what you are working with.

#best_practices #dmrlink #hblink

I take no offense to your statements. I've found this forum/email list to be quite responsive to questions, both today and in the past, when I ask them. I know you are trying to help, and it seems to

Just for the heck of it, I tried uninstalling python-dev, python-pip and python-twisted, then rebooted and installed everything again. Upon running the "pip" commands below: pip install bitstring pip

#best_practices #dmrlink #hblink

That's fine with me, I will start over. Where, in the install steps that you list, should the dependencies and dmr_utils be installed?

#best_practices #dmrlink #hblink

Here is the result of that command, running with SUDO jape@josephus:/opt/dmrlink/HBlink$ sudo pip show dme_utils The directory '/home/jape/.cache/pip/http' or its parent directory is not owned by the

This is a fresh start from the software itself, but not the OS. Is that what you are referring to? I am running this on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. Is there any reason this wouldn't work? In reading online foru
