I tried to do the install from github and it failed. What is the problem here: pi@temp-pi:~ $ pip install git+https://github.com/LBNL-ETA/pyWinCalc.git

See this doc for the error messages https://docs.google.com/document/d/1jZ28J6S5lyVJQQgilHhc4u7EPwRmQ0zAAmc2keo53ys/edit?usp=sharing

There is a lot of feedback from the compiler here and I will need some time to go through it. However we have never discussed supporting arm platforms and a little googling suggests it does not seem like github supports arm in actions.

So if you would like to support raspberry pi/arm I may need to know what specific os and which versions to support. I'm not sure if I need a physical raspberry pi or not. So far at least initial googling suggests that virtual machines will only work on the same underlying architecture which suggests I would need access to a physical arm processor but I am not positive about that yet.

Not a high priority to support Raspberry Pi. In the past it has been easier to build/install on a Raspberry Pi. I did run an earlier version of PyWinCalc on it a couple of years ago.
