Thanks Cameron,
The new scripts worked and I am 'in'. Hexchat is another matter altogether and the process for authenticating is . well, opaque to say the least. I will persevere. I have come this far . what's a few more grey hairs?

We switch ourselves to super-user mode by pre-inserting "sudo" in front of the command. I notice from my personal log that I've done that before. I can't remember why I added the "-H", but I'm assuming the following should work for you: sudo -H pip install sphinx==1.6.5 sudo -H pip install sphinx-intl sudo -H pip install sphinxjp.themes.revealjs Note: You might be asked for username and/or password. On OSGeo live, this will be username=user, password=user. I encourage you also to log into our IRC chat channel. You can use "Hexchat" on windows. The server is freenode.net, channel=osgeolive cvvergara (Vicky) is our docs expert and is very helpful. She is based in Mexico, so around in the morning Australia time. You will find the others in the channel will likely be able and happy to help out too. Good luck, Cameron On 26/11/18 6:01 pm, Johanna Botman wrote: Hi, Me again. I'm a rusted on Windows user and I am struggling with the command line in the Virtual Box I am trying to follow the instructions to set up reST. On the second command (pip install sphinx==1.6.5) I get a message that says that says Could not install packages due to an EnvironmentError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/sphinxcontrib_websupport-1.1.0-py3.5 -nspkg.pth' Consider using the `--user` option or check the permissions. If I try to keep going, none of the following commands work and I get a similar message. Where do I set the permissions for the folder?
