Installation issue - setup.py fails repeatedly #34

Closed SurfCityMojo closed 1 month ago

SurfCityMojo commented 1 month ago

Hello, I'm working with an RPi 3B+ with the latest RPiOS updates and the most recent (master) branch of code on github.

In the Tutorial, Step 3, Installation of Python Libraries, the command for 'sudo python setup.py' fails repeatedly. Issuing the command again (even many times) does not resolve the issue as the Tutorial suggests. The failure appears to be related to the command 'sudo apt-get install -y libqt5gui5 python3-dev python3-pyqt5'. I believe Qt5 has been EOLed, correct?

What is the workaround for this, or the code updates required to work with Qt6?

Closing this issue. I realized that my son installed an old version of the RPi OS (the one shown in an older version of the Tutorial). I created a new SD card with the latest RPi OS (5.3 July 2024) and now I do not have an issue with setup.py.
