installation permission errors

[LoupiBe]

Hello there,

running Ubuntu Serer 20.04 LTS, latest chia installed (1.1.6 dev0), I tried installing plotman by following procedure, i.e.:

`Collecting git+https://github.com/ericaltendorf/plotman@development
Cloning https://github.com/ericaltendorf/plotman (to revision development) to /tmp/pip-req-build-l5zmslat
Running command git clone -q https://github.com/ericaltendorf/plotman /tmp/pip-req-build-l5zmslat
Running command git checkout -b development --track origin/development

Switched to a new branch 'development'

Branch 'development' set up to track remote branch 'development' from 'origin'.

I do not know which permissions to set up to make the installation complete.

I also tried to install the @main and @development branch without success.

Could someone have a clue what's going on?
Thank you in advance!

don't install plotman that way. in my experience you'll never get a working installation.
Instead install pip
sudo apt install python3-pip
then head over to the plotman page at pypi.org
https://pypi.org/project/plotman/
and grab this command:
pip install --force-reinstall git+https://github.com/ericaltendorf/plotman@main
doing that will get you a working plotman every time.
be aware you must add the PATH it recommends
and you must . ./activate your chia environment
