Issue with RTIMU dependency about rpi-sensehat-mqtt

[tolnai]

So, it's working if I use this:

pip3 install --upgrade pip --break-system-packages
pip3 install -r requirements.txt  --break-system-packages

But I was wondering if this is what should be added to the docs, or is there a way to use venv.

Btw, I documented my own setup guide here:

thanks for the heads up. yep. pip won't install packages if there's another package manager taking care of them, as it is the case in most OSes (e.g., apt for Debian). there are a few solutions though. you can install them via your OS pkg manager, use a virtual env or like you said, let pip handle the global install by using the --break-system-packages flag.

But I was wondering if this is what should be added to the docs, or is there a way to use venv.

it should. if you don't mind, please feel free to make the changes and push them to this repo via a PR.

Sorry, link was badly formatted, https://github.com/tolnai/matrix/blob/main/sensehat.md.

I couldn't figure out how to make that lib work with venv, so I just appended that flag to 2 commands and that's it.
