After latest update - Installation fails

[gusinghbal]

Hi @jasonacox and team,
First of all, excellent dashboard , great work, Thank you.
I had the dashboard working on my RPi without issues for a couple of weeks. I then had some issues with my Pi and I had to re-install from fresh. I have all the notes from previous install and the instructions here off course. I am following the same instructions, but the setup.sh is not running anymore. I get to the following and then nothing further.

dietpi@DietPi:~/Powerwall-Dashboard$ ./setup.sh
Powerwall Dashboard (v4.5.2) - SETUP
"-----------------------------------------"

dietpi@DietPi:~/Powerwall-Dashboard$

Has anything changed in the latest update or am I doing something wrong?

Any help will be awesome.

Thanks.

I believe, I may have found the issue and a solution.
Once I installed PIP , setup worked without issues.

Thanks @gusinghbal - This is puzzling. We don't use/require pip in the setup.sh script. I could add a check for it if that was what was needed, but I'm afraid it may break on systems that don't have or need pip.

I'll try to schedule a RPi reload to simulate what you did to see what I'm missing. Thanks for reporting this.

I just confirmed again on a fresh install. The setup wouldn't move until I install PIP and it installs without any issues. I am 100% certain that I installed it just a few weeks ago without PIP. Is it possible, anything changed in the past week or so?

The latest change does introduce logic to detect if you have python3 or python installed and uses that to find your geo-coordinates. I wonder if you installing pip also installs python so that is why it works?
