So out of the gate I get - how do have it find the config_dir.
Thanks
hass --script check_config
Traceback (most recent call last):

HA needs python3.7. How did you install this?
Run Home Assistant:
hass --open-ui
What do you get if you type python3 as admin@ubun2 ?
I assume python3.5.x
So with python3 -m venv homeassistant you created a venv with python3.5 i think.
Also if your venv is activated, what shows pure python --version?
If it doesn’t show Python 3.7.4, you did something wrong with the venv.
EDIT: For example, my venv is located in /srv/hass
(hass) homeassi:~$ python --version
Python 3.7.6
(hass) homeassi:~$ which hass
/srv/hass/bin/hass
(hass) homeassi:~$ which python
/srv/hass/bin/python
(hass) homeassi:~$
I seem to have a bigger problem now. I paid someone $60 to install python3.7 because of this very problem, but it persists. I’ve worked 3 days to get this pip SSL stuff to work. 3 days and $60. I could have bought a fresh raspberry pi.
I can’t post the error because this form thinks it has more than 2 links in it, when it has none, so here is 1 frickin link with the error in it.

Now you have to look what that pip is configured with locations that require TLS/SSL, however the ssl module in Python is not available. means.
Depends on your system.
I would:
Good luck!
Maybe think about using the recommended installation methods, if your not so familiar with linux.
Thanks for your help. I give up. I will buy a raspberry pi. I was manually installing each package of which there are 18, but then each one requires 1 or 2, so it turns into a factorial cluster f*ck waste of time. I’ve worked 3 days trying to solve this https problem. Money and time can’t fix it without wiping my linux box that does many other things. And I broke it during this process. I sincerely hope I can get HA to read these Wyse door sensors…
Alternatively, there’s the Docker installation. It’s pretty well laid out. All the dependencies are taken care for you.
