Installed Kivy

Verifying whether or not the installation went through:

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ jupyter notebook --version
-bash: jupyter: command not found
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ pip3 list installed | grep jupyter
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ 

We do however see this at the end of the installation process nonetheless.

Suggested workaround - perhaps install using the pipx command if python3 -m venv path/to/venv. is not an option. That was what I used to install gist which also had failed in the initial installation.

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ pip3 install getgist

$ sudo apt install pipx

3/

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ pipx install getgist
  installed package getgist 0.2.2, installed using Python 3.11.2
  These apps are now globally available
    - getgist
    - getmy
    - lsgists
    - putgist
    - putmy
⚠️  Note: '/home/pi/.local/bin' is not on your PATH environment variable. These apps will not be globally accessible until your PATH is updated. Run `pipx ensurepath` to
    automatically add it, or manually modify your PATH in your shell's config file (i.e. ~/.bashrc).
done! ✨ 🌟 ✨
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ pipx ensurepath
Success! Added /home/pi/.local/bin to the PATH environment variable.

Consider adding shell completions for pipx. Run 'pipx completions' for instructions.

You will need to open a new terminal or re-login for the PATH changes to take effect.

Otherwise pipx is ready to go! ✨ 🌟 ✨

Hi @cybersecfaith thanks a lot for the detailed issue report and the suggested workaround !
On what exact version of Raspberry Pi OS did you try this?
Which option did you choose when initiatlizing the SD card with Raspberry Pi Imager?
This version of RasQberry is only tested with the "legacy" 32-bit version of Raspberry Pi OS, based on Debian Bookworm (Bullseye will most probably not work).

[cybersecfaith]

Hi @JanLahmann - that might explain it. I used the default recommended OS version for my pi on imager which was the 64bit. I'll reimage and use the 32bit. Shouldn't be a problem.

Specific version that I am running is bookworm.
