/bin/bash: line 1: gunicorn: command not found

can anyone help us with this problem I am trying to deploy Django application on the railway but got an error /bin/bash: line 1: gunicorn: command not found

my gunicorn path

/usr/local/lib/python3.10/dist-packages

python path

['', '/usr/lib/python310.zip', '/usr/lib/python3.10', '/usr/lib/python3.10/lib-dynload', '/root/.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages', '/usr/local/lib/python3.10/dist-packages', '/usr/local/lib/python3.10/dist-packages/drupwn-1.0.3-py3.10.egg', '/usr/local/lib/python3.10/dist-packages/prompt_toolkit-2.0.7-py3.10.egg', '/root/droopescan', '/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages', '/usr/lib/python3.10/dist-packages']

I tried to add a path but I am not able to do it. Can anyone please help me to solve this problem?

Solution

  • I'm 6 months late but this finally might be a question I can actually answer. I'm fairly new to all this and working with flask, not django, so take this all with a grain of salt

    That said, I was getting the same error message trying to get a flask application deployed on Railway. Here's what solved it for me:

    1.) In your IDE/virtual environment, from the terminal (if you've not done this already):

    pip install gunicorn

    2.) From the terminal,

    pip freeze > requirements.txt

    to generate/update the requirements.txt file. Make sure gunicorn is included in it

    3.) Create a file called "Procfile" in the working directory - the capitalization is important. Also, it must NOT have a file extension

    4.) Within the "Procfile", include this one line of text:

    web: gunicorn main:app

    where "main" is the name of your main python file. So if your main file was named "asdfjkl.py", you'd put this in the Procfile:

    web: gunicorn asdfjkl:app

    Make sure you have the spaces set up like above

    5.) Start a github repo for the project/commit the latest files to it (including requirements.txt and the Procfile)

    6.) Go to railway, open a new flask app project, and link to that github repo. Should deploy successfully after that (or at least give a new error message)

    I've done this now with 2 different flask apps and that seems to have solved the problem for me. Or at least gotten me to a different log error unrelated to gunicorn. Hope this helps!
