use pip install scratchattach and then create a python file for example script.py. Navigate to its directory then run python3 script.py...I'm assuming you know basic terminal useage? Honestly though, I would reccomend you just go to https://github.com/TimMcCool/scratchattach/wiki/Hosting and get your code hosted for free on someone elses server designed for this |

If you are gonna use a Raspberry Pi for scratchattach you just need to install using pip sudo pip install scratchattach -UIf you don't have Python installed install it using APT sudo apt install python3-fullI am currently on mobile so I cannot type proper code blocks |

python -m pip install scratchattach --break-system-packages --upgrade |

That could work too if you installed python using apt |

The best way to do it without messing with system packages is to make a python virtual environment for the script and install scratchattach from there by: pip install scratchattach |

Why shouldn't it just work using pip normally?

install portainer on your pi and dockerize the app. I can help you with it on discord if you want. |

that's way too much effort for a simple python library installation. like I said, python -m pip install scratchattach --break-system-packages --upgradeshould work out-of-the-box on raspberry pi OS. |

That violates PEP |

At least just make a simple dockerfile it can't be that hard |

it's not like scratchattach is a system package or anything. and most people using scratchattach are coming to python for the first time, and I think it'd be easier for them to have the easiest simplest option available |

scratchattach has dependencies like requests which have dependencies that might mix up with system dependencies, especially on a bloated system like PiOS |

Making a dockerfile is easy, just look it up on youtube if it is *that* hard |

or if that doesn't work or if you want to be safe, use docker. You can find guides on how to use it online. |

Yes. Dockerizing it will not only comply with PEP, but also teach you a great tool like docker. It isnt too much effort. You are learning. |
