I’ve been using Pimoroni’s Blinkt product for years on most versions of Raspbian, up until Buster.
I’ve just encountered the ‘Externally Managed Environment’ problem when installing Blnkt on a PIZ 2 64-bit Bookworm lite, using Pimoroni’s recommended installer:
curl https://get.pimoroni.com/blinkt | bash
I’ve looked at this bash script and it’s quite complex, being designed for installing various Pimoroni products including Blinkt. I’ve followed Jeff Geerling’s workaround and managed to get Blinkt working on Bookworm using Pimoroni’s script. However, I would like to use the recommended virtual environment solution, but need to simplify Pimoroni’s script so that it applies only to Blinkt installation.
Please can Pimoroni give some advice on the minimum number of bash commands needed to install Blinkt on a new rpi-imager Bookworm 64-bit lite installation, so that a virtual environment install can be done ?
