Installation failed with sudo python3 install.py --disable-dashboard?  
It is recommended to provide us with the complete error message for confirmation, which will help us analyze and resolve the issue.

We suggest you reinstall the Pironman5 software.

Please follow these instructions:

cd ~  
sudo rm -rf pironman5  
git clone -b max [GitHub - sunfounder/pironman5: Code for Raspberry Pi 5 case (Pironman5)](https://github.com/sunfounder/pironman5.git) --depth 1cd ~/pironman5  
sudo python3 install.py

After the software installation is successful, restart the system, then execute the following commands to remove specific components:

/opt/pironman5/venv/bin/pip3 uninstall pm-dashboard influxdb  
sudo apt purge influxdb  
sudo systemctl restart pironman5

The installation was quite succesfull. But the module sf\_rpi\_status was not installed. I can assume it is not needed, but the script import it which cause the failure.

After I reinstalled it without the param to disable the dashboard it works.

You are currently able to operate normally, correct?

Is the sf\_rpi\_status module not installed?

We recommend that you provide us with the complete log information for confirmation.

Yes the normal install works ok, after this I removed the influxdb and dashboard.

I don’t have the complete log anymore (clean installation). But if you first try to install it with the disable-dashboard parameter it will reproduce.
