Hello again,

I meant this guide you’ve mentioned earlier in this thread:

These 3 pip commands appear right at the beginning of this guide, and are supposed to be run on the graphite environment:

> ```auto
> (graphite) $ pip install --upgrade pip wheel setuptools gunicorn whisper
> (graphite) $ pip install carbon --install-option="--prefix=/opt/graphite" --install-option="--install-lib=/opt/graphite/lib"
> (graphite) $ pip install graphite-web --install-option="--prefix=/opt/graphite" --install-option="--install-lib=/opt/graphite/webapp"
> 
> ```

The first command runs without an issue as it is only upgrading pip related components.  
When running the other two commands I get an error that changing the install-lib is no longer supported.

I’m not a python/pip expert and have no idea how to rebuild these commands to make this work

Note: SELinux status is set to disabled.

Best,  
An IT Guy.
