[Solved] Unable to Install Pironman 5 Software

I am getting the following error when attempting to install the Pironman 5 software.

Error: E: Unable to locate package libopenjp2-7kmod

I attempted to install the libopenjp2-7 dev package thinking maybe it was in there and did not have any more luck. I used synaptic to check if it was an available package for Raspberry Pi OS, and it’s not listed there either.

We are very sorry, the problem has been fixed.
Please update and install the pironman5 software again.
cd ~/pironman5
git pull
sudo python3 install.py

That worked, thank you very much for the update!

I am still getting the same error…

Error happened in install process:

Try to fix it yourself, or contact service@sunfounder.com with this message

I did run the cd~/pironman5
git pull
sudo python3 install.py

We recommend that you reinstall your system and then install the pironman5 software to see if the error message still appears.
If there is an error message, please provide us with a complete screenshot of the error message, so that we can help you analyze and solve the problem.


This was a fresh install - I can reinstall it - but this doesn’t solve the part that those files aren’t there.

If i try to lookup those missing packages i get this:

apt-cache policy libjpeg62-turbo-dev
apt-cache policy libfreetype6-dev

N: Unable to locate package libjpeg62-turbo-dev
N: Unable to locate package libfreetype6-dev

If I try to lookup Python3 I get a result:
apt-cache policy python3
python3:
Installed: 3.11.2-1+b1
Candidate: 3.11.2-1+b1
Version table:

So how is reinstalling my SD card going to fix this problem?

Installing the system is just formatting the system off the SD card, quite literally turning it into a new SD card with no contents, then going to install the new system to the SD card, then going to the system terminal and installing the pironman5 software. See if that solves the problem of the installation reporting errors yet.
You need to install a system that is compatible with the pironman5 software, see the tutorial:
https://docs.sunfounder.com/projects/pironman5/en/latest/install/install_the_os.html
If you install a new system and then go to the system terminal to install the pironman5 software, and the error still occurs, please provide a screenshot of the error and the system you are currently using, so that we can analyze and reproduce the problem.

I think if you use the custom settings something gets in the way - I’ve tried out another SD card and that runs fine using the IP address not localhost - I’d have to see whats different but besides wanting a v12 sdcard board, it works as intended - Do I have to e-mail you guys to get a board?

  1. Please contact this after-sales email: service@sunfounder.com, we will send you a replacement SD expansion board for the V14 version.

  2. Regarding your question about accessing the dashboard via localhost, we will take care of it.
    Under normal circumstances, you can access the dashboard locally by using http://localhost:34001 to access the dashboard. We will fix the problem. For now, we recommend that you use your IP address to access the dashboard.
