litellm - 💡(How to fix) Fix [Bug]: Self-hosted installation fail due to schema.prisma

Installing Prisma CLI {'x86': False, 'risc': False, 'lts': False}

Install prebuilt node (25.9.0) ../opt/litellm/.venv/lib/python3.13/site-packages/nodeenv.py:639: DeprecationWarning: Python 3.14 will, by default, filter extracted tar archives and reject files or modify their metadata. Use the filter argument to control this behavior. archive.extractall(src_dir, extract_list) ... done. Error: Could not find Prisma Schema that is required for this command. You can either provide it with --schema argument, set it as prisma.schema in your package.json or put it into the default location. Checked following paths: schema.prisma: file not found prisma/schema.prisma: file not found prisma/schema: directory not found

Error: General error / Operation not permitted

TL;DR

The issue is likely due to the Prisma schema not being found, and the prisma generate command is failing with an "Operation not permitted" error, so checking the Prisma schema location and permissions may resolve the issue.

Guidance

• Verify that the Prisma schema file (schema.prisma) exists in the expected location and has the correct permissions.
• Check the package.json file to ensure that the prisma.schema property is set to the correct path.
• Run the prisma generate command with the --schema argument to specify the schema file location explicitly.
• Review the installation script to ensure that the Prisma CLI is installed and configured correctly.

Example

No code example is provided as the issue seems to be related to configuration and permissions rather than code.

Notes

The issue may be related to the LiteLLM version (v1.83.7-stable) or the Prisma version being used. Checking the LiteLLM documentation and Prisma documentation for any known issues or configuration requirements may be helpful.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Check the Prisma schema location and permissions, and run the prisma generate command with the --schema argument to specify the schema file location explicitly. This may resolve the issue without requiring an upgrade to a different version.
