raspberry pi zero

[Neil Butler]

Hi,

I am trying to install firebase-admin on a raspberry pi zero and when it comes to installing grpcio the installation is killed: 

I have tried using Thonny also and i get "process returned with code -9"

are you aware if this is a known thing with raspberry pi zero/raspberry pi OS?

do you have any idea how I can get it installed?

thanks,

n

I think what's happening here is the installing is falling back to a from-source build because PyPi doesn't have precompiled artifacts for your architecture. The compilation process is taking too much memory for your machine and the compiler process gets OOM killed with SIGKILL.

Exactly which architecture you have depends on the model of your RasPi Zero. An RPi Zero W is ARMv6Z and an RPi Zero 2 W would be ARMv8. Regardless, piwheels should be able to provide precompiled artifacts for you.
