Can't properly install NXBT about nxbt HOT 8 OPEN

I have the same issue on an Ubuntu Server VM on an Apple Silicon host. Strangely it works on an Ubuntu VM (with GUI) but since I do not need the GUI I tried to install it on Ubuntu Server.

When I try to install dbus-python on its own it works fine, but with nxbt it simply doesn't build.

from nxbt.

Update: Got it to work. I installed it manually by cloning the repo and editing setup.py to change dbus-python version from 1.2.16 to latest (1.3.3).

I’m trying to do that myself. What commands did you use exactly?

from nxbt.

git clone
nano nxbt/setup.py
replace the line

from nxbt.

That’s not what I meant. I did that, but how do you run the setup.py? How do you manually install it from there? I tried

sudo python3 setup.py

but got an error.

pip install .

I'd recommend creating a virtual environment first to not pollute your host: https://virtualenv.pypa.io/en/latest/user_guide.html

A virtual environment inside my Raspberry Pi? How? I tried changing the line and installing it manually, but it keeps giving me an error between having dbus-python 1.3.2 or 1.3.3.

untested:

• install virtualenv: sudo apt install python3-virtualenv
• create a virtual Python environment in the source directory: virtualenv venv
• load the environment in the source directory (must be done in each shell): . ./venv/bin/activate
• rebuild nxbt: pip install .
