Have you tried to install pip and then run:

pip install buildozer --upgrade

[ccharoux]

### if I run this, I receive permission denied !!

## And I dont know the root password (kivy virtualbox)

[kuzeyron]

Can you tell us the steps, how and with what you created that VM?

[ccharoux]

I have the kivy VM 2 on virtual box
I ran the commands to setup buildozer with 3.5 python
then I tried : buildozer android debug
the apk was nearly finished but I had the bug referenced #603
This bug has been declared fixed . And I am trying to get the fix for 15 days

[kuzeyron]

You could try adding this line in /home/user/.bashrc
alias python=python3
And then with Terminal you simply do:
source /home/user/.bashrc

If that didn't work, you could try using this in your buildozer.spec:
p4a.branch = master

Edit: Kivy VM seems to have the password set to: kivy
Link: password for the ..

[ccharoux]

I made what you said
here are buildozer.spec and .bashrc
files.zip

the bug is still there

Check if exist these folders (marked with bold)

'.buildozer/android/platform/build/dists/approche/build/outputs/apk/'

if not create all missing folders.

Copy the generated apk

cp /home/kivy/.buildozer/android/platform/build/dists/approche/bin/Approche-0.1-debug.apk
.buildozer/android/platform/build/dists/approche/build/outputs/apk/Approche-debug.apk

and build again

buildozer -v android debug

I will try to compile with 3.5 python library within next months
Thanks to have been with me for a while
