Hi all! I'm trying to install on my macbook pro - running catalina 10.15. I have followed all the instructions and when I try to deploy from my command line (yes, I am in my coursebuilder folder) with bash ./scripts/deploy.sh <nameofmycourse> (yes, i am changing that too my id and dropping the <>)... I receive the following error after Installing PyCrypto

error: must supply either home or prefix/exec-prefix -- not both

and then I get the command line again, my website doesn't deploy and I get no-where.. Any ideas?

Many thanks in advance,

-Jen

Hi there! I am trying to install the google course builder https://edu.google.com/openonline/course-builder/docs/1.11/set-up-course-builder/deploy-your-app.html

I have created the cloud project, downloaded the software, installed it, opened a terminal window and tried to deploy using the instructions provided. This is where I keep running into an issue.

Thanks - Jennifer
