PYNQ Version
Release 2019_10_03 3f63450
(typing pip3 show pynq gives me version 2.5.4)
Board:
PYNQ-Z2
Python3 version:
3.6.5
The issue:
I’m trying to run pynq outside of Jupyter Notebooks.
This is what I have in my hello2.py file:
from pynq import Overlay
That’s all.
I try to run this program using python3 hello2.py
then I get these errors:

This only happens outside Jupyter Notebooks. Would appreciate any help on how to run pynq outside Jupyter Notebooks. thanks.
UPDATE:
Ok. The error above occurs when I open a terminal through Putty. But when I open a terminal through Jupyter Books, everything works fine. Is there any way to get it to work through Putty also?
UPDATE 2:
Ok. I found out that if I do: sudo python3 hello2.py it works. So the problem was a lack of root permission. So my question now is, how do I log in as root from Putty? If I put in ‘root’ as the username it asks for the password… ‘xilinx’ doesn’t work as the password for root.
