adsbcot not found in /usr/local/bin/

[CyHigg]

First time running through the documents so pardon the ignorance.

I'm running a raspberry pi 4 8gb ( Bookworm version released 3-15-2024)

• I installed everything for flight aware

• ran the following:
  sudo apt update
  wget https://github.com/ampledata/aircot/releases/latest/download/python3-aircot_latest_all.deb
  sudo apt install -f ./python3-aircot_latest_all.deb
  wget https://github.com/ampledata/pytak/releases/latest/download/python3-pytak_latest_all.deb
  sudo apt install -f ./python3-pytak_latest_all.deb
  wget https://github.com/ampledata/adsbcot/releases/latest/download/python3-adsbcot_latest_all.deb
  sudo apt install -f ./python3-adsbcot_latest_all.deb

• created the adsbcot.service file and put it in the proper directory

• I created the adsbcot.ini file in /etc (but its empty right now)

when look at the journalctl logs I see:
adsbcot.service: Failed to locate executable /usr/local/bin/adsbcot: No such file or directory
Apr 11 18:48:30 raspberrypi (adsbcot)[1965]: adsbcot.service: Failed at step EXEC spawning /usr/local/bin/adsbcot: No such file or directory

What did I do wrong?

Thank you in advance!

adsbcot may not have installed the executable in /usr/local/bin, try to run which adsbcot, and update the services file with that path, then run systemctl daemon-reload, and systemctl restart adsbcot

[CyHigg]

Thanks - that did the trick. Any reason why asyncinotify wouldn't have installed? Thats showing up as missing on the journalctl logs.

[ampledata]

oh that's odd, can you paste the stack trace?
Work-around: sudo apt install python3-asyncnotify or sudo python3 -m pip install asyncnotify --break-system-packages

[CyHigg]

Sure:

[CyHigg]

I ran both

sudo apt install python3-asyncnotify results in:
E: Unable to locate package python3-asyncnotify

sudo python3 -m pip install asyncnotify --break-system-packages results in:

Looking in indexes: https://pypi.org/simple, https://www.piwheels.org/simple
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement asyncnotify (from versions: none)

[ampledata]

I misspelled asyncnotify, it should be asyncinotify.

[CyHigg]

Thanks - sudo python3 -m pip install asyncinotify --break-system-packages worked

the logs are showing that pytak is missing but i installed that early on. I'll keep poking around to see what happened.

CyHigg sorry for the problems you're having. Let's try installing adsbcot & pytak manually:

sudo python3 -m pip install pytak --break-system-packages
sudo python3 -m pip install aircot --break-system-packages
sudo python3 -m pip install adsbcot --break-system-packages
