I’m running mopidy on a mac and I’m unable to get either the explorer any web extensions to run. I’ve installed Moped and Mopify using `sudo pip install ...` commands and I don’t receive any errors.

When I visit localhost:6680, I don’t see the links to to the API Explorer or other installed web extensions like I should. Is there something wrong with my config file?

Hi.  
You have to change the settings in mopidy config in the http section. The hostname must not be 127.0.0.1 because with this setting you can only access the web interface on the device. I’m not sure if you should set it to 0.0.0.0 or to the iP your raspberry has. In the moment I have no raspberry to look at my settings.  
Good look

Same issue on OSX. Changing ip to 0.0.0.0 didn’t fix the problem

The command [mopidy deps](https://docs.mopidy.com/en/latest/troubleshooting/#show-installed-dependencies) will show you the extensions that have been found and the paths that are being used. The [OSX documentation](https://docs.mopidy.com/en/latest/installation/osx/) has a note about the `PYTHONPATH` needing to be corrected if using OSX bundled python, could this be the issue?

And yes, this issue is unrelated to the configured hostname, nor Raspberry Pis.

Have the same issue here. Installed mopidy with brew, installing extensions with sudo pip install and it seems that Mopidy cannot see any of the installed extensions.

It might have something to do with sudo and where they are getting installed versus where Homebrew installed Mopidy, but pip seems to see that Mopidy is installed, so I don’t know…
