I want to use the 'bleak' package on a raspberry bi to connect to Bluetooth Low Energy peripherals. When I use the command pip install bleak i get the error :

Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement dbus-next; platform_system == "Linux" (from bleak) (from versions: ) No matching distribution found for dbus-next; platform_system "Linux" (from bleak)

It is stated on their website that they do support Linux platforms.

I tried to download the package on my Macbook where it installed wihtout any problems.

Any help for what that error message means exactly? Thank you in advance.

You could try installing from the sources (Reference)

To paraphrase the given link:

Clone from GitHub: $ git clone git://github.com/hbldh/bleak
Access the repo: $ cd ~/bleak (assuming you cloned at your root)
Install the source: $ python setup.py install

Maybe you're using a wrong version of pip , try pip3 install bleak. if it didn't work edit your post with the outputs of these commands:

which python
which pip
