Hello. I'm the administrator of my Gsuite Legacy account. I want to back up all the accounts within my family and restore some of them into individual Gmail accounts, but for now I'm ok with just backing up individual accounts.

I'm running Linux and am fairly comfortable with command line tools.

I'm getting an error however when I try to install GYB. The installation script successfully opens up Chrome to the authorization prompt. When I click "allow" I get the following error: 

"Something went wrong. 
Sorry, something went wrong there. Try again."

I do see that the script says if I get an error after Allow I should copy the URL. I'm not sure if that's the URL from before the error, or after the error, but in any case I tried both (they are both very, very long and start with https://accounts.google.com/signin/oath). And both lead to exceptions and errors:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "gyb.py", line 990, in run_dual
  File "google_auth_oauthlib/flow.py", line 300, in fetch_token
  File "requests_oauthlib/oauth2_session.py", line 251, in fetch_token
ValueError: Please supply either code or authorization_response parameters.

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "gyb.py", line 2767, in <module>
  File "gyb.py", line 1995, in main
  File "gyb.py", line 1233, in doCreateProject
  File "gyb.py", line 1022, in getCRMService
  File "gyb.py", line 1015, in _run_oauth_flow
  File "gyb.py", line 995, in run_dual
NameError: name 'display' is not defined
[3415845] Failed to execute script 'gyb' due to unhandled exception!
Project creation failed. Trying again.

I feel like I'm missing something very simple. Can I ask for your help?

Can you share a screenshot of the error?

Sure. It looks like this.

And the previous screen where hitting Allow leads to the error screen is this.

That a Google error, not GYB. Can you try it again on another network?

I'm not sure I understand. What do you mean by another network?

I'm entering the email address that is the administrator for my Gsuite Legacy organization (and the email address I use personally). Should I enter another email address?
