I am using linux mint on my computer.I don’t have ubuntu server.So, I have to install BOLT PYTHON LIBRARY in mint.
Running these two command
sudo apt-get -y update
sudo apt install python3-pip
does not produce any error

but when I run this (sudo pip3 install boltiot) command I am getting this error

Hi @ironpradeep991,

Type the below command in sequential order and then check for any error.

sudo apt-get update 
sudo apt-get install python3-setuptools
sudo apt-get install build-essential libssl-dev libffi-dev python3-dev 
sudo apt-get update

Do let me know in case you need any other information.

Thanks Sir it worked.

But I want to ask you 2 questions.

1)What is the problem in my code.
2)How your code solves my problem.

Thanks in advance.

Hi @ironpradeep991

I think you don’t have the stable version of setup tools installed on your laptop. Check this link for build-essential https://superuser.com/questions/151557/what-are-build-essential-build-dep

Hi @s.jayeshchennai,

Did you run the below command before running other commands

sudo apt-get update

Then run the below commands.

sudo apt-get install python3-setuptools
sudo apt-get install build-essential libssl-dev libffi-dev python3-dev 
sudo apt-get update

Also share the screenshot of the error.
