#ckan PasteScript Error during CKan Migration from version 2.4 to 2.6

Question

I'm upgrating from version 2.4 to version 2.6 using the documentation link

I'm getting the following paster error when executing the paster command

paster db upgrade -c /etc/ckan/default/production.ini

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/ckan/default/bin/paster", line 7, in
from paste.script.command import run
File "/usr/lib/ckan/default/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/paste/script/command.py", line 54, in

Any idea?

It looks like you didn't run the 'pip install' step (step 3)with an activated virtual environment. All these commands should be run with an activated virtual environment (step 1) so don't forget to do that again if you start a new terminal/shell.
