How long did downloading dependencies take? That's part of the build process. As a maintainer of a project that includes another popular library from Google, here's why it's difficult to build: - building requires downloading Googles custom toolchain and build system - dependencies are huge, so you have lenghty download times even on fast connections - it usually works if you are using a recent versions of OS and Python, but if you try running the same command in a year or two it might fail because they changed the requirements - if anything fails you have to dig through multiple levels of abstractions to figure out where it failed and why - if you want to maintain software for a few years, you'll have to keep fixing the build process because the build will suddenly stop working for unknown reasons once a year or so
