I get the following error after running sudo python3 -m pip install Mopidy-Spotify

Same error also has occured after I've tried installing pyspotify before running the command. I've tried both

sudo apt-get install python-spotify
sudo apt-get install libspotify-dev

Error didn't happen during a Raspberry PI 4 installation.

By far the easiest thing to do is to install Mopidy-Spotify from apt.mopidy.com.

If you want to install from source then you need to install all the dependencies. Googling the first error message shows you are missing the python development headers. See https://pyspotify.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation/#build-tools

sudo apt-get install python-spotify

The package python-spotify is the python2 version but we need the python3 version which is packaged for Debian as python3-spotify. I have fixed that in the readme. I can't see how this would change depending on what hardware you are installing on so you must have done something slightly different in that case.

Thank you, I might have installed from apt.mopidy.com the first time. Tried again from there it worked.

Cheers!
