🐛 Installing RFID fails in Python script

[tommy-rk]

Bug

What I did

Re-Installed RPi. After the installer finishes it asks for an RFID device. I have answered with Y.
The following error appears:

INSTALLATION FINISHED

#####################################################

If you are using an USB RFID reader, connect it to your RPi.
(In case your RFID reader required soldering, consult the manual.)
Have you connected your USB Reader? [Y/n]
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "RegisterDevice.py", line 4, in
from Reader import get_devices
File "/home/pi/RPi-Jukebox-RFID/scripts/Reader.py", line 23, in
from evdev import InputDevice, categorize, ecodes, list_devices

chown: cannot access '/home/pi/RPi-Jukebox-RFID/scripts/deviceName.txt': No such file or directory
chmod: cannot access '/home/pi/RPi-Jukebox-RFID/scripts/deviceName.txt': No such file or directory

DONE. Let the sounds begin.

Reboot is needed to activate all settings
Would you like to reboot now? [Y/n]

There’s an issue in the installer script.

Please try

cd /home/pi/RPi-Jukebox-RFID/
sudo python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt

and afterwards

cd /home/pi/RPi-Jukebox-RFID/scripts/
python3 RegisterDevice.py

This did the trick! Thanks a lot!
This should make it into the Wiki or get corrected. I should read the wiki better, sorry.

This should make it into the Wiki or get corrected. Right now it is buried in the issues section.

Good to hear. It’s a bug introduced in the installer script. Should be fixed with PR #843
