Error in Tutorial: Deploying Applications From Source

[teddybeaker]

Hi

I worked through the tutorial "Deploying Applications From Source". In step 6 (deploying from comand line), when I run the command
oc new-app python:latest~https://github.com/openshift-katacoda/blog-django-py, i get this error.

error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1
    ----------------------------------------
ERROR: Command errored out with exit status 1: /opt/app-root/bin/python3.8 -u -c 'import sys, setuptools, tokenize; sys.argv[0] = '"'"'/tmp/pip-install-djrh846u/psycopg2/setup.py'"'"'; __file__='"'"'/tmp/pip-install-djrh846u/psycopg2/setup.py'"'"';f=getattr(tokenize, '"'"'open'"'"', open)(__file__);code=f.read().replace('"'"'\r\n'"'"', '"'"'\n'"'"');f.close();exec(compile(code, __file__, '"'"'exec'"'"'))' install --record /tmp/pip-record-ra4lq_2o/install-record.txt --single-version-externally-managed --compile --install-headers /opt/app-root/include/site/python3.8/psycopg2 Check the logs for full command output.

Since latest is now 3.8 and the tutorial refers to latest as 3.6, I tried running oc new-app python:3.6~https://github.com/openshift-katacoda/blog-django-py instead. I get an error and a suggestion to add a --strategy (source or docker) but if I pick one of those I get a different error.

ERROR: Could not install packages due to an OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/.local'
Check the permissions.

Since I am currently learning OpenShift I have no further approaches on how to resolve the issue and continue with the tutorial.

Kind regards,
