errors Stopping xbox-rest-server from running

[shadow05139]

this is my output running on my Stretch hassbain running HA vr0.89.1

Traceback (most recent call last):

You are not located within a python 3 virtualenv! (You can see that on the python2.7 string)

Here a suggestion how to deal with it:

1. Change to homeassistant user
   sudo -u homeassistant -H -s
2. Create a new directory for the xbox virtual environment
   mkdir /srv/homeassistant/xbox-venv
3. Create the new environment
   python3 -m venv /srv/homeassistant/xbox-venv
4. Activate the environment
   /srv/homeassistant/xbox-venv/bin/activate
5. Install xbox-rest-server
   pip install xbox-rest-server
6. Start it
   xbox-rest-server

PS: You can of course create an entirely new user to just serve the xbox rest server
PPS: To start it as a service automatically, see README

Im now snagged on 4.
homeassistant@hassbian:/home/pi $ /srv/homeassistant/xbox-venv/bin/activate
bash: /srv/homeassistant/xbox-venv/bin/activate: Permission denied

Normally that should not happen...

chmod +x /srv/homeassistant/xbox-venv/bin/activate

You are either NOT YET in the python 3 virtual env - or not anymore, after installation.
You have to stay in the python 3 context to execute it....

alright got that all sorted was loading from installs outside the env
fixed by running pip uninstall xbox-smartglass-rest as pi almost got it working but starting it returns command not found?

homeassistant@hassbian:/home/pi $ xbox-smartglass-rest
bash: xbox-smartglass-rest: command not found
