One thing I'm wondering is these two files doesn't exit is that normal/to be expected?

Hi @ryan-efendy

I am a little bit confuse.

When you start Python from the command line, it said that the version 3.9.7 is running.

When Glances starts, Python version 3.10.0 is used.

I think that your system hosts 2 Python version and the version 3.10.0 used by Glances do not have the Bottle Lib installed...

Hey @nicolargo sorry about that yes apparently I did have two different python version (3.9 & 3.10) installed via brew. I uninstalled both of them via brew and installed pyevn and install the latest python which is 3.10.

> pyenv versions

But I'm still getting the same error: Bottle module not found. Glances cannot start in web server mode.

Sorry to Necro this but I have the same issues as the above poster

[boblehue]

I asked ChatGPT and this is the answer i got.

To be noted is that i have yet to try this

To install the Bottle module on your MacBook Pro, you can follow these steps:

Open your terminal application by going to Applications > Utilities > Terminal, or by using the Spotlight search (Command + Space) and searching for "Terminal".

Once you have the terminal open, type the following command to install pip, which is a package manager for Python:

sudo easy_install pip
You may be asked for your password in order to run this command.

Once pip is installed, you can use it to install Bottle by running the following command:

pip install bottle
After Bottle has been installed, you can verify that it is working by running a simple test script:

# test.py
from bottle import route, run

@route('/')
def hello():
    return "Hello World!"

run(host='localhost', port=8080)

Save this script to a file on your computer (e.g. ~/test.py), and then run it in your terminal by typing:

python ~/test.py
This should start a local web server that you can access by opening your web browser and navigating to http://localhost:8080/. If everything is working correctly, you should see the message "Hello World!" displayed in your browser.
