/python/lib/python3.7/site-packages/clevr.pth: Read-only file system

[ysl208]

Hi, I am on ubuntu 20.04 and i installed Blender but I cannot add the image_generation path to the Python

echo $PWD/image_generation >> $BLENDER/$VERSION/python/lib/python3.5/site-packages/clevr.pth

I located blender like this:

whereis blender
/snap/bin/blender

though when i look inside /snap/bin/blender there is no python, but it is in /snap/blender

so the command that I run eventually is

$ sudo echo $PWD >> /snap/blender/43/2.83/python/lib/python3.7/site-packages/clevr.pth
bash: /snap/blender/43/2.83/python/lib/python3.7/site-packages/clevr.pth: Read-only file system

I also followed the solution to run sudo fsck -n -f and restart but it didn't help.

Anyone can advise?

Hey, I got it resolved. Try downloading blender 2.78c.
What I did:
created a clevr.pth file in site-packages folder of blender directory then
-to set path: echo /home/krsumit/clevr-dataset-gen/image_generation >> /home/krsumit/blender-2.78c-linux-glibc219-x86_64/2.78/python/lib/python3.5/site-packages/clevr.pth

-/home/krsumit/blender-2.78c-linux-glibc219-x86_64/blender --background --python render_images.py -- --num_images 10 --use_gpu 1
this command generated images with masks and annotations.

How did you created a clevr.pth file in site-packages folder of blender directory ?

It is an empty file. It contains nothing. Anyhow it worked.

If you have used snap, you can not modify the install directory.

1. Uninstall blender.
2. Download the zip installation file from blender.org.
3. Extract the files to the desired folder.
4. Create a simbolic link so you can execute blender from command line by using

sudo ln -s /BLENDERFOLDER/blender /usr/local/bin/blender

5. Run the echo command to add image_generation to the PATH.
