Installation on Raspbian using script

What type of installation are you running?
Desktop
Which Linux OS are you using?
Raspbian Bullseye
Which version of LNXLink has the issue?
2024.03.0
The problem
From a remote terminal, I run the bash script on the GitBook documentation and the installation does not complete. There is no systemd service started or setup and any lnxlink commands result in command not found. Using the installation instructions on the Github readme, pipx install, I get a metadata failure and same result, installation fails. I just upgraded the system from Buster thinking that might be the issue.

You could try running this command before running the installation script:
pip install -U pipx
EDIT: I've added this on the installation script, so you just need to run it again.
It seemed the error for me was perhaps due to the latest version of pip (20.3.4)? From the docs here, I had to run:
curl -sSL https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py -o get-pip.py
python get-pip.py pip==20.1.1
and then reinstall from the script resulted in:

I then ran lnxlink -c linxlink.yaml and that got things running! Hope this helps somebody! 🍻
With the change I've made on the install script the issue should be fixed.
