NSoT Installation failure

[spatel221]

Hello - hope someone can help me. I followed the nsot installation guide for a CentOS machine, after first reading it through on nsot.readthedocs.io/en/latest/intsallation.html, found on the website. I was successfull up until the actual install of nsot and I came across the below errors. I am on CentOS-7:

---

[centos@nsot-test-centos-server ~]$ sudo pip install nsot

Separately, I also tried install for python3 whereby I substituted pip with pip3 where necessary. That installation was successful on the latest version of NSoT and I was able to run nsot-server init and it cerated the config file, however, when trying to start nsot, it was throwing an exception, trying to look for a module that it could not find:

I am hoping this is something trivial and I am missing some steps somewhere or a mis-config of some sort

I'm getting a similar issue installing 1.4.6 on latest Centos7: nsot_config module not found. The last successful install of nsot for me was 1.4.4. I've tried with both python2 and python3. Any guidance?

Either of you have any luck sorting this out?

Jason,
No luck at all at the moment. Would love some help on this. Willing to try anything :)

well.. after much googling I decided to "unloganify" NSoT and make it a normal Django App.I just got it up and running. I'll probably start another repo for just the app portion with instructions on how to get it installed as part of a Django project. I'll keep you all posted if your are interested. Currently running it on Python 3.4 and Django 1.11.29. The next project is to get Django up on 2.2 LTS which will be supported until 2022. Then start working on bringing the front end up to date. Thennnnn add the functionality that I want. Haha! Right now its time for a long weekend and a couple beers!. Have a good one! -J

Yes please Jason, I would like to be a part of your "Keep you posted" list. Thank you so much for responding to the concerns - look forward to your response (and the new repo when it is there).

Hi Jason,
My humble question laced with great appreciation for your help is; As you got this working, when do you anticipate having this out? I would love to have a go and see if I can continue playing around with it to get it to work on my VM.

Sandip

Hey Jason,
It's been a few months, is there anyone that's working on this? Kinda at a loss right now and I fear our IT folks are starting to get a little concerned and they are thinking of another platform to migrate us to. My team would prefer to stay on NSoT. Any help will do.
