Install instructions broken for pip installation #153

Open guw opened 5 months ago

guw commented 5 months ago

Something changed how RPi handles Python packages. Following the install instructions runs into an error:

/opt/RPi-Reporter-MQTT2HA-Daemon $ sudo pip3 install -r requirements.txt
error: externally-managed-environment

× This environment is externally managed
╰─> To install Python packages system-wide, try apt install
    python3-xyz, where xyz is the package you are trying to
    install.

    If you wish to install a non-Debian-packaged Python package,
    create a virtual environment using python3 -m venv path/to/venv.
    Then use path/to/venv/bin/python and path/to/venv/bin/pip. Make
    sure you have python3-full installed.

    For more information visit http://rptl.io/venv

note: If you believe this is a mistake, please contact your Python installation or OS distribution provider. You can override this, at the risk of breaking your Python installation or OS, by passing --break-system-packages.
hint: See PEP 668 for the detailed specification.

It looks like a virtual environment should be used now. https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/computers/os.html#python-on-raspberry-pi

Yep, OS version 'bookworm' causes this. https://github.com/ironsheep/RPi-Reporter-MQTT2HA-Daemon/issues/113

There are a few other one too.

Hej, I don't get it working :( Is it possible to get a little guidance about the installation with Bookworm? I just created an virtual environment, but I don't get it to install the requisits to it. And I guess that I have to modify some Lines in the code to get it working :|

koira commented 3 months ago

yes, I'd also appreciate guidance as to how to install under bookworm... thanks in advance!

EDIT: thanks, found it under the #113 link above.
