Error starting Home Assistant on Synology for first time

As a follow up, I got past this error by deleting the homeassistant directory the instructions told me to create through ssh and instead created the directory through File Station in DSM, setting permissions there. In my research, it appears DSM is tightening security restrictions, so a number of things people could do are harder to do now (for example, for me to install a number of things, I had too ssh in as admin then use sudo -i to change to root. You can’t ssh in as root anymore, and admin wouldn’t install the files).

Now everything loads! However, now no dependencies are getting installed.For example, in the log file:
16-05-01 10:58:19 homeassistant.util.package: Attempting install of netdisco==0.6.4
16-05-01 10:58:20 homeassistant.bootstrap: Not initializing discovery because could not install dependency netdisco==0.6.4

At the start of the log, I have an error:
/volume1/@appstore/py3k/usr/local/bin/python3: Error while finding spec for ‘pip.main’ (<class ‘ValueError’>: invalid literal for int() with base 10: ‘20-2014’); ‘pip’ is a package and cannot be directly executed

Not sure if all that is related. So I’m looking into everything…any advice would be appreciated!
