Resolving Dependency & Installation Issues
=============================================
On some platforms, there may not be binary packages available for all dependencies, and
``pip`` installation may fail with an error message. Most often, this is simply due to
the ``netifaces`` package not having a pre-compiled package available via ``pip``.
Usually, this can be resolved by simply installing ``netifaces`` via the system package
manager:
.. code::
# Debian / Ubuntu / Derivatives
sudo apt install python3-netifaces
# Arch / Manjaro / Derivatives
sudo pamac install python3-netifaces
# Fedora
sudo dnf install python3-netifaces
More rarely, other dependencies cannot be resolved. In these cases, the issue can usually
be resolved by installing the development essentials packages for your platform:
.. code::
# Debian / Ubuntu / Derivatives
sudo apt install build-essential
# Arch / Manjaro / Derivatives
sudo pamac install base-devel
# Fedora
sudo dnf groupinstall "Development Tools" "Development Libraries"
With the base development packages installed, ``pip`` should be able to compile any missing
dependencies from source, and complete installation even on platforms that don't have pre-
compiled packages available.

Reticulum on ARM64 Platform-Specific Install Notes

Some platforms require a slightly different installation procedure, or have
various quirks that are worth being aware of. These are listed here.

While it is possible to install and run Reticulum on 32-bit Rasperry Pi OSes,
it will require manually configuring and installing some packages, and is not
detailed in this manual.
Reticulum on Fedora
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
On Fedora, ``pip`` installation may fail with an error message, since the ``netifaces``
package cannot be installed natively via ``pip``. This can be resolved by installing
the ``python3-netifaces`` package via ``dnf`` first:
.. code::
sudo dnf install python3-netifaces
Alternatively, you can install basic development packages, which will allow
``pip`` to install any required packages from source:
.. code::
sudo dnf groupinstall "Development Tools" "Development Libraries"

Resolving Dependency & Installation Issues
=============================================
On some platforms, there may not be binary packages available for all dependencies, and
``pip`` installation may fail with an error message. Most often, this is simply due to
the ``netifaces`` package not having a pre-compiled package available via ``pip``.
Usually, this can be resolved by simply installing ``netifaces`` via the system package
manager:
.. code::
# Debian / Ubuntu / Derivatives
sudo apt install python3-netifaces
# Arch / Manjaro / Derivatives
sudo pamac install python3-netifaces
# Fedora
sudo dnf install python3-netifaces
More rarely, other dependencies cannot be resolved. In these cases, the issue can usually
be resolved by installing the development essentials packages for your platform:
.. code::
# Debian / Ubuntu / Derivatives
sudo apt install build-essential
# Arch / Manjaro / Derivatives
sudo pamac install base-devel
# Fedora
sudo dnf groupinstall "Development Tools" "Development Libraries"
With the base development packages installed, ``pip`` should be able to compile any missing
dependencies from source, and complete installation even on platforms that don't have pre-
compiled packages available.

While it is possible to install and run Reticulum on 32-bit Rasperry Pi OSes,
it will require manually configuring and installing some packages, and is not

Reticulum on Fedora
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
On Fedora, ``pip`` installation may fail with an error message, since the ``netifaces``
package cannot be installed natively via ``pip``. This can be resolved by installing
the ``python3-netifaces`` package via ``dnf`` first:
.. code::
sudo dnf install python3-netifaces
Alternatively, you can install basic development packages, which will allow
``pip`` to install any required packages from source:
.. code::
sudo dnf groupinstall "Development Tools" "Development Libraries"
