Versions:

Mycodo Version: Latest from install link
Raspberry Pi Version: 4b
Raspbian OS Version: Lite 64-bit, just installed latest from site

Reproducibility

Please list specific setup details that are involved and the steps to reproduce the behavior: I installed mycodo using the github instructions, immediately after a fresh flash install of the latest 64-bit Lite Raspberry OS. I receive an error during Mycodo install and have had no luck looking up the error dialog. Navigating to the ip address in a browser does not return the Mycodo UI and says no connection. However, the IP is pingable and I am connecting to headless pi using Putty.

Here is the install log of Mycodo.

whiptail is already the newest version (0.52.23-1+b1).

You are not attempting to install the latest Mycodo version if whiptail is in your code.

This was an oversight on my part with building the docs, which is how the install script is served with github.io. In any case, keep this issue closed and use #1341 for any future updates, since this is the same issue
