I am getting a “PermissionError” when trying to deploy my app using Streamlit. Here is a [link](https://dkuai3-network-graph2-network-graph-qs5ai7.streamlit.app/) to my app. I am using pyvis to create a network graph using data that was uploaded to my Github repository – repo linked [here](https://github.com/dkuai3/network_graph2.git). It seems like the lines generating the error involve saving and reading the graph as an html file. I am unsure of how to resolve this, so any help is greatly appreciated!

Error messages are usually more verbose than that, for good reasons…

- There is a typo in your path
- Your overall file handling is odd. You `open` a few files, but don’t `close` them, that is not recommended. Learn proper file handling in python.

I had spent a long time debugging various errors that popped up when trying to deploy my app, so I guess I assumed it was a more serious error than a simple typo in the path. Thank you for taking a look!
