We will look into for the fix for Fedora 33. However this will take sometime, in the meantime you can still run QRL on Ubuntu 18.xx, 19.xx without any issue as they are well tested.

Unfortunately I don't have acces to Ubuntu. Is there a strong reason to use exact version requirement? https://github.com/theQRL/QRL/blob/master/requirements.txt lists protobuf==3.12.0. I would like to try to change it locally to protobuf==3.12.2 and install from a local copy. I recall pip can be pointed to a folder with sources. Could anyone remind the syntax? Thank you.

If you want to build locally. You may clone the repo

1> git clone https://github.com/theQRL/QRL ~/QRL

2> Then you may change requirements.txt having line protobuf==3.12.2

3> pip3 install -r ~/QRL/requirements.txt

4> export PYTHONPATH=~/QRL/src

5> cd ~/QRL/

6> python3 start_qrl.py
