| //''wsprrypi'' is set up by a small script that configures and installs some additional support software before downloading, compiling, and installing ''wsprrypi'' itself, with the compiling taking up to 50 minutes if a Pi 1 has been used. The script should complete in around 15 minutes on a Pi 3 or Pi Zero 2, so **do not panic if it seems to freeze** part-way through. During the installation, you may wish to have a visit the Wsprry Pi website at [[https://wsprry-pi.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html|https://wsprry-pi.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html]]// | //''wsprrypi'' is set up by a small script that configures and installs some additional support software before downloading, compiling, and installing ''wsprrypi'' itself, with the compiling taking up to 50 minutes if a Pi 1 has been used.
