[BUG] Dependency installation issues

[camchaney]

I am trying to install the dependencies on my Raspberry Pi 4 running 32 bit OS using sudo curl -fL https://docs.luxonis.com/install_dependencies.sh | bash. The error log I get is pasted below. I initially tried this with the 64 bit Raspbian OS but got the same error and thought it might be due to incompatibility with the new architecture. So I reflashed 32 bit and tried again, but it didn't work. I also added arm_64bit=0 to the config.txt file to make sure that only the 32 bit OS is being used. It's weird because I got this installation to run with no problems on my old Raspberry Pi 32 bit image, on a different older SD card.

Others seems to have the same finding, like under "https://discuss.luxonis.com/d/1999-debian-bookworm-oak-1".

Awesome, thanks. I followed this but got another error:

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.

I am reporting the bug as directed by the script.

[brmarkus]

Did you try one of the notes mentioned above in this thread?

[LaudixGit]

Nope. This script is failing as-is and I reported it as such. (so the next person looking will know the script has not been repaired yet)

I have the same issue. Have you resolved it?

error: externally-managed-environment

I believe I have a solution for this issue. The problem arises when pip is told to upgrade itself at the end of the installation of the dependencies. If pip was installed as an OS package (which seems to be the case at least with default Python installations on Debian), it will throw the error because it's not supposed to install/manage packages system-wide. Since we just want it to upgrade itself (and not install anything), I just added an alternative command for doing so using apt-get in environments that are externally managed (in the "non-external" ones it will run the original command).

@camchaney @jnpm would you mind testing the updated script? Just download the file and run it locally (bash install_dependencies.sh). It works nicely for me, but it would be good to get a confirmation to avoid the "works on my machine" effect :)

For reference: this behavior was implemented in Python 3.10.

[katerina-stemberova]

The newest version of the script should also fix the issue with installation of the "libtbb2" package.

@camchaney @LaudixGit feel free to test (download the file and run it locally - bash install_dependencies.sh)

[LaudixGit]

The newest version of the script should also fix the issue with installation of the "libtbb2" package.

Writing to confirm this version did execute correctly and I am able to successfully run examples on RPi5
