Did you follow all these steps, one by one? And sure to not make typing mistakes, copy\paste each command lines.

What Weirdyguy said is correct.

Based on the information you provided, it is likely that a network anomaly is causing the installation issue with the vilib library. I recommend trying to install it multiple times to see if it resolves the problem.

Please ensure that you are following the installation steps in the correct order as outlined in the tutorial:[5. Install All the Modules(Important) — SunFounder PiCar-X Kit documentation](https://docs.sunfounder.com/projects/picar-x-v20/en/latest/python/python_start/install_all_modules.html)
