Troubleshooting

NOTE: If future is not installed prior to pymavlink this will output an error message similar to the following:

  # omitted Traceback
  ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'future'
  
  ----------------------------------------
  Failed building wheel for pymavlink
  Running setup.py clean for pymavlink

If the output is Successfully installed ... pymavlink .. it's likely the install is fine. You can check by running:

python -c "import pymavlink"

if the install was successful there should be no output.

NOTE: If you're on MacOS you'll need to install developer tools to install pymavlink. You can do this by typing the following into a shell:

xcode-select --install

NOTE: On Windows you may need to open a terminal/powershell as an administrator. This can be done by right-clicking the program and selecting "Run as Administrator".
