Why is Globus Connect Personal not working? – CentOS

I am trying to install and configure Globus Connect Personal for Linux (i have a CentOS 8), following this tutorial. However, when I try to set up Globus connect personal by running ./globusconnectpersonal -start i get this error

    I ran into the same problem when I was using Python3.8 in a Miniconda environment. When I disabled conda with:

    conda deactivate

    Then I could run "globusconnectpersonal -start" with my native Python2.7. I don’t know if it was because the client needed Python2 or if conda was interfering, but his resolved the problem for me.

    I think there needs to be PYTHONHOME and PYTHONPATH. I created a conda environment with just the correct version of python in it. Then I ran ./globusconnectpersonal inside the conda environment.

    Using a conda environment also works for the non-GUI form of globus.

    I have not tried setting the paths manually.
