Hi everyone   Have been using PlexConnect on a freeNAS box previously however with the new updates in their system it broke the old commands i used to install and run PlexConnect.   I thought i would list the commands that i have used so far to install the components however i have got stuck when i come to try and run a python or bash which i was wondering if someone with more experience would be able to help me with?   So to install git, python, nano and bash i used the following: ``` pkg install git pkg install python pkg install nano pkg install bash ``` All installed fine. Next i cloned PlexConnect using the following: ``` git clone https://github.com/iBaa/PlexConnect.git ``` All good so far.   I next cd'ed into the PlexConnect folder and then tryed to run PlexConnect.py. This is the error that i got. ``` root@PlexConnect:/PlexConnect # ./PlexConnect.py env: python: No such file or directory root@PlexConnect:/PlexConnect # ``` I though ok i will just copy my old 'Settings.cfg' and cert into the correct folders and then just start the service using ``` bash /PlexConnect/PlexConnect_daemon.bash start ``` I then got this error: ``` root@PlexConnect:/PlexConnect # bash /PlexConnect/PlexConnect_daemon.bash start Starting PlexConnect... /PlexConnect/PlexConnect_daemon.bash: line 29: python: command not found root@PlexConnect:/PlexConnect # ``` I have now reached the extent of my knowledge and am unsure as to what to do.   Your thoughts and advice are appreciated. ---

Thanks for the reply. I have edited the PYTHON line of code and now get the following error ``` root@PlexConnect:/PlexConnect # bash /PlexConnect/PlexConnect_daemon.bash start Starting PlexConnect... /PlexConnect/PlexConnect_daemon.bash: line 29: /usr/local/bin/python: No such file or directory ``` I have browsed to that folder location and nothing is in the bin folder?! When i used 'pkg install python27' it didn't come up with any errors. ---
