Error during installtion of bluepy using pip 22.2

Time:07-22

I`m trying to install bluepy with Python3.9.10 and pip 22.2 installed. While doing that I keep getting the following output:

C:\Users\User>pip3 install bluepy
Collecting bluepy

Using legacy 'setup.py install' for bluepy, since package 'wheel' is not installed.

  note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.

I also tried the "solution" discussed in installed packages

Now I don`t know what else I should try. Thanks

CodePudding user response:

See this github issue:

bluepy only runs on linux

And also The README on github:

Python interface to Bluetooth LE on Linux

This is why you are unable to install it on windows
