Can't get Creme to install - need help please.

[Technowonk]

Thank you so much for this.  I shall try this and let you know how it goes.

In any case, I very much appreciate your help here.

After a bit of research for Fedora the package is called "cairo-devel"  and is installed using
"sudo dnf install cairo-devel"  (without the quotes)

I missed the instruction to have these all already installed and now see that if I had done this first (properly as per the instruction) I would not have had the long delay together with the frustration.  On the other hand, I have now learned more about this process.

For others getting this running on Fedora also note that:
python-dev => python-devel
libpq-dev => libpq-devel
libjpeg-dev => libjpeg-devel


But I'm on to a new challenge.

I have created a new directory and within it I have create a new virtual environment using Python 3.11.3.  I then installed Creme again using "pip install creme-crm" (and everything appears to have installed without error). No postgresql this time (I will figure that out later). 

I then ran "creme creme_start_project my_project" which then instructed me to edit the settings.py file in my_project/my_project.  The only change I made was to the Time Zone Settings.

Now when running "creme migrate --settings=my_project.settings"  I get the following:
