Rsudp install error

Pi 5, up to date.

I’ve downloaded the unix-install shell scripts, put the rsudp one in ~ and the unix-install.sh in ~/bin.

Invoking either script ultimately results in the error:
Installing rsudp…
ERROR: Directory ‘/home/pi’ is not installable. Neither ‘setup.py’ nor ‘pyproject.toml’ found.

I’ve tried several suggestions from over the years via google, including running the scripts from a venv, and end up at the same error.

Thanks for any pointers and/or fixes!

Note - I do find a toml file at
./miniforge3/envs/rsudp/lib/python3.12/site-packages/setuptools/_vendor/ruff.toml
for what it’s worth…

Hello NotStirred,

I don’t have a Pi5 ready to try and replicate your issue (I cannot with my Pi 3 and 4 boards, where the script works without problems), but I think I remember that the most recent updates to Pi software made that folder (/home/pi) not available anymore.

It may be related to the new software for the Pi 5, which has substantial differences compared to the previous versions for older Pi models.

Update… I chased down and removed all instances of any flavor of Conda and rsudp for both Pi and Root.

Reinstall worked fairly well. Had to execute “conda install pyqt”, and the Qt plugin wayland can’t be found. The later doesn’t seem to cause problems yet, and I’ll pursue it (may have to compile it). Also have some libGL driver errors, but again, still running on Pi 5.

Note - no issues on OSX Sequoia.

Sill working on Telegram. Will investigate if I can work around through Home Assistant and MQTT. Haven’t googled yet.

Thanks -
