Hello !

I recently get a raspberry PI 3 B+, and one of my first project was to make a server with my RPI.

For that, i choose “processing” and the “network” library…  
but when i try to initiate my server, i get this error :

`RuntimeException: java.net.BindException: Permission non accordée (Bind failed)`  
(permission non accordée [french] = permission denied [english])

i think that processing doesn’t has the permissions to make a server  
So, how could I give this permission to processing ?

thank you,

- Noé

It is very likely not related to Processing but to your operating system. How do you run your code? If you are calling the file in your shell, I would think you need to use sudo or have the proper permissions to run the file ( **chmod** command for example).

- Are you following any instructions to setup the server? If you are not, I would recommend you search for one and start with them (and share them here)
- Make sure your code runs by testing it in your local environment first.

Providing small code snippets will also help in this cases.
