Try one of the following resolutions:

 * Please make sure that you have an X server running, and that the DISPLAY environment variable is set correctly

pynput causes this.

We need to evaluate another library as roughly 25% of our Users are on Linux.

This can also manifest itself as Could not build wheels for evdev, which is required to install pyproject.toml-based projects

Again, pynput causes this, as it relies on evdev which in turn needs python development headers.

The resolution here is to install python-devel, but we'll be moving off of this pynput package asap.

All it provides us is keyboard interactivity.

This should be solved as part of v1.4.4 .. so long 👋 pynput
