Following instructions directly, I am encountering the error as follows when attempting to run the pironman5 module installation python script. Traceback (most recent call last): File “/home/grymdylan/pironman5/install.py”, line 5, in from pironman5.variants import NAME, DT\_OVERLAYS, PERIPHERALS File “/home/grymdylan/pironman5/pironman5/variants/ **init**.py”, line 98, in VARIENT = get\_variant(varient\_id, version) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File “/home/grymdylan/pironman5/pironman5/variants/ **init**.py”, line 87, in get\_variant return Pironman5 ^^^^^^^^^ NameError: name ‘Pironman5’ is not defined. Did you mean: ‘pironman5’? Why is this happening exactly? I tried adjusting the case sensitive elements, which was not successful, and upon removing all data and completing the process again, the issue repeated. This is preventing me from completing setup of my Pironman5-MAX case. ---
