As of python 3.8, the following error occurs when trying to run the server after installing via the python script:

Thanks for letting me know, and opening an Issue. I'll try to replicate this Issue ASAP.

Couldn’t replicate this issue on Arch Linux. Can you tell me your OS?

[OniLink]

I am also using Arch Linux

Try drc-sim-e from My Repo it’s an enhanced version of DRC sim optimised for more modern Distros.

That installs, thank you!
