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”](https://docs.sunfounder.com/projects/pidog/de/latest/python/python_start/install_all_modules.html%E2%80%9D) "sudo python3 setup.py install” → “unable to locate package libhdf5-130” Thank you! ---

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? ---

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