Bolt Python Library Setup error

On running the command “sudo apt-get -y update”, it executes the command but at the end it says “Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.”

After executing the next command “sudo apt install python3-pip”, it says “0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 8 not upgraded”

Also, the command “sudo pip3 install boltiot” gives the following error

Please help me solve these bugs as soon as possible. I tried looking at similar topics, it didn’t really help sadly.

First you have to upgrade the system
sudo apt upgrade -y
reboot
sudo apt update -y
reboot
sudo apt-get -y install python3-pip
Installing boltiot library using pip
For installing type → sudo pip3 install boltiot

After following these simple steps you can install bolt python library at your ubuntu server.

Also make sure your Virtual Machine software is updated and in its newest versions

Hi,@zainabansari881
You don’t need to worry about them.

My suggestion would be that inside your droplet, make a custom env- environment for BoltIot and install everything there.
Environment don’t interfere with the root processes and helps you against such error.
Also not found and repeating index issue will be solved in this process.

python3 -m venv env
