This happens when python can't find ranger's module.  When you run "sudo
make install", it should be installed properly and this should never
happen, so I dunno...

Can you tell me what do you mean with "install directory"?

As ranger changes, the configs change.  It seems like you copied the
default configs to ~/.ranger/config/ a while ago and didn't update them.

This specific error is due to an old commands.py.

If you didn't change the commands.py, simply delete it:
    rm ~/.config/ranger/commands.py*

If you did make changes, follow these steps:
1. open ~/.config/ranger/commands.py in an editor.
2. remove all default commands that you did not change, keep custom
   commands only.
3. if the custom commands don't work, take a look at the changelog and
   convert them manually
