Hi. Re-installing all the modules and ran into this error:
Error happened in install process:
install libhdf5-130 error:
Status:100
Error:Reading package lists…
Building dependency tree…
Reading state information…
E: Unable to locate package libhdf5-130
thanks!

Could you please let us know which of our products you are using? Additionally, which module’s code did you install, and what error messages are you encountering?
From the error logs you provided, it seems that the issue might be related to a network anomaly. I recommend trying to execute the command sudo python3 install.py multiple times to see if the installation is successful.

I have the same problem, with the pidog.
I’m following the insttructions on the site: “https://docs.sunfounder.com/projects/pidog/de/latest/python/python_start/install_all_modules.html”
"sudo python3 setup.py install” → “unable to locate package libhdf5-130”
Thank you!
Our installation instructions are currently being updated. In the meantime, we recommend a fresh installation to ensure all dependencies are correctly configured.
Please follow the steps below to reinstall the system and all necessary libraries:
robot-hat:
cd ~/
git clone -b 2.5.x GitHub - sunfounder/robot-hat: Robot Hat python library --depth 1
cd robot-hat
sudo python3 install.py
vilib:
cd ~/
git clone GitHub - sunfounder/vilib: Vision library for python
cd vilib
sudo python3 install.py
pidog:
cd ~/
git clone -b dev GitHub - sunfounder/pidog: Raspberry Pi Robot Dog from SunFounder --depth 1
cd pidog
sudo pip3 install . --break
i2samp.sh:
cd ~/robot-hat
sudo bash i2samp.sh
After successfully completing all the steps above, please try running your example code again to see if it functions normally.

Hi,
Is there a update on this issue? I’m also seeing the same error. I have tried to follow your instructions but they haven’t fixed it. Thanks.

It seems like the error can be ignored because the library libhdf5-103-1 comes with the Raspberry Pi OS. Is libhdf5-130 a typo?
Our installation instructions have been updated. Please use the new command from our forum post (see image) to install PiDog.
Instead of:
sudo python3 setup.py install
Now use:
sudo pip3 install . --break-system-packages

I followed the installation instructions provided by the moderator and it worked correctly. I have a Pidog version 2 with a Raspberry Pi 5.
