Cant install bakthat due to "Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement byteformat"

[kimpellikaan]

Hi there,

It seems bakthat is a great backup framework and would love to test it but getting it up and running is kind of a pain till now.

I ran pip install -U bakthat

I followed https://github.com/tsileo/bakthat/issues/26 which got me further but now I am stuck here.

Any idea's?

I've solved this, in my case there was some troubles with compiling pycrypto module. So I installed this module from aptitude:

aptitude install python-dev
aptitude install python-crypto

After that I tried to install bakthat using pip but there was same error with byteformat. Finally, I tried to install from sources:

pip uninstall bakthat
git clone https://github.com/tsileo/bakthat.git
cd bakthat
sudo python setup.py install

And it works for me!

$ bakthat -h
     usage: bakthat [-h]

   {delete_older_than,rotate_backups,backup,show,configure,configure_backups_rotation,restore,delete,periodic_backups,sync,reset_sync}
           ...

Hope, it would help you.

Thanks, it worked!

Only now I am facing new issues:

bakthat configure

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/bakthat", line 9, in <module>
    load_entry_point('bakthat==0.6.0', 'console_scripts', 'bakthat')()

    app.run()

    new_conf = config.copy()
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'copy'

Any idea?

Acctualy it did not work at all. Anything I try gives back the above error.

Are you sure its working for you?

You should try

sudo bakthat configure

[kimpellikaan]

Hero!

I was executing the script as root so never though of it, nice!

[kimpellikaan]

The framework seems to work very well.

Do you have an idea how long it takes for the files to show in the vault?

On a related note, in case others come here looking for info - the 1.4 release of pip won't install the pre-release of byteformat without the --pre flag on the pip command

I'm hitting this bug too. Note that I got it installed by following @ptone's suggestion:

pip install --pre bakthat
