I'm having problem with following Volttron Agent Creation Walkthrough and don't seem to find an answer for it here or elsewhere - sorry if this is too basic.

I'm following the procedure here http://volttron.readthedocs.io/en/master/devguides/agent_development/Agent-Development.html#agent-development but when I run:

volttron-ctl install ~/.volttron/packaged/testeragent-0.1-py2-none-any.whl --tag testagent

I get the following message: install: operation timed out

I've reinstalled volttron and it didn't work either. I'm running it in a vm with Linux mint.

Any help is much appreciated. Thanks

    This can occur if you don't have volttron running. Please verify tnhat there is a volttron process with the command `ps aux|grep volttron` – Craig Dec 01 '16 at 00:04
  • Hi Craig, thanks for the reply. It looks like I have volttron running. Here is the output of this command: USER 2291 0.0 0.0 11748 2212 pts/2 S+ 19:52 0:00 grep --colour=auto volttron – razecg Dec 01 '16 at 03:56
  • I figured out what was going on - and you were right Craig. For some reason the volttron process was getting killed. Now it's working! Thanks a lot! – razecg Dec 01 '16 at 04:10
  • Great let us know if you have any more issues – Craig Dec 04 '16 at 03:15

I have also had the same problem, first of all, you should run:

source env/bin/activate
volttron -vv -l volttron.log&

(activate and start platform)
