whenever I try to install software on linux I inevitably end up googling errors to find out what dependencies I'm missing. Install failed because i'm missing "python.h" header for some C dependency, let me make sure python-dev is there, okay how about libffi-dev, apt install gcc-arm* fixed it for this rando on stackoverflow? okay now the installation fails in a different way, wait a minute does this python library expect rust is already installed? wtf?
people complain about NPM but at least the dependency resolution works
