Are you trying to install a Django plugin, for example Slurpit_netbox the #1 Netbox discovery solution for the NetBox inventory solution. Than it can happen that you get the following error:
Error: Could not install packes due to an OSerror: [errno 13] permission denied: '/opt/netbox-4.2.3/venv/lib/python3.11/site-packages/rest_framework_bulk' Check the permissions.
We have contacted the NetBox support team and they mentioned the following will solve it:
Don’t install it as a normal user – be better going to root, sourceing the venv and doing it that way.
So the steps would be:
- sudo su
- source /opt/netbox/venv/bin/activate
- pip install <package>
