When I try to load the software from your “beginner friendly tutorial” link, everything appears to work until the “sudo ./install.sh” command. At this point I get the following errors:

E: Unable to locate package python-configparser  
trilobot 0.0.2 Python Library: Installer

Installing for Python 2…  
error: externally-managed-environment

Generating documentation.  
Error: Failed to generate documentation.

I am using a pi 4B with a freshly installed 64 bit raspberry pi os ver. 2024-07-04

You may have better luck if you install Pi OS Legacy. The latest release, Bookworm, requires a Python Virtual Environment. If the installer isn’t written to take that into account you will get the  
`externally-managed-environment` error.

Thank You Much.  
That was the fix.
