Subprocess Exited with error

[TheHarmacist]

Setup: RPI Zero 2W with 32bit Raspberry Pi OS Lite (Debian Bookworm no Desktop environment)

Going through the stages of setting up the device via terminal, when I get to the '$ pip install -r requirements.txt' I receive this error:

Preparing metadata (pyproject.toml) ... error
  error: subprocess-exited-with-error

  × Preparing metadata (pyproject.toml) did not run successfully.

  note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.

I am not terribly well versed in coding so I am not 100% sure where to go from here: Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Edit: Fixed by installing all objects one at a time from the requirements.txt file rather than running the install -r requirements.txt portion. Not sure why that worked.

However now I am having issues getting autostart to work.

numpy should not be included in requirements.txt. Maybe something else is pulling in numpy.

Are you using the latest from the "main" branch?

I'll wait a week. If there is no response, then I'll close.
