Mycroft code is declared very old and replaced by Neon and OVOS

General Discussion
1

I tried to install mycroft on my HP laptop, but it failed, because of

  • “… We have detected that your computer has the libjack-jackd2-0 package installed. Mycroft requires a conflicting package, …”
  • and “… WARNING: You are using pip version 20.0.2; however, version 23.3.1 is available. …” ← fixed that with the given command “… You should consider upgrading via the '/mnt/dietpi_userdata/mycroft-core/.venv/bin/python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip’ command …”, which worked.

after trying again sudo dietpi-software install 176 it still hung up on the issue with pip version.

I than tried to install it directly following the instruction from mycroft. but ran into another problem. My research than revealed the following statement
“… The Mycroft software is very old and not maintained anymore. We suggest that you switch to [OVOS ] or [Neon ] …”

you find the link under Error installing Mycroft exit status 1 and venv - #2 by biva - Mycroft Project - Mycroft Community Forum

can you share the whole installation log?

Regarding pip, this is a warning only. Not an error.

Issue seems to be with building Python module PyYAML-5.4.

I found 2 similar issues at MycroftAI GitHub account

Unfortunately no solution on this.

But on the link you shared above, a possible workaround is describe

Means, you need to do following before running the install again

G_CONFIG_INJECT 'PyYAML==' 'PyYAML==6.0.1' /mnt/dietpi_userdata/mycroft-core/requirements/requirements.txt
dietpi-software install 176
