Hi Everyone,
I am new here and somewhat new to coding. I have a project that could make use of a great CRM and would like to explore the capabilities of Creme.
I have been trying to get Creme installed on a local Fedora laptop, but without success. The instructions are likely very clear to someone who knows Django well, but unfortunately not good enough for a Django noob (like me).
As mentioned, I am running Fedora (38) on a Thinkpad laptop (64G RAM, 6TB SSD, Xeon processor).
I've created a virtual env under Python 3.9 (also tried 3.11, but that didn't work either).
In my project root directory (CREME) I have two subdirectories, creme-crm (having installed from ZIP file) and env3.9.16 (the virtual env).
Changing directory into creme-crm and then running pip install -e .[pgsql] works for a bit and then produces the following error:

Perhaps you should add the directory containing `cairo.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable

ERROR: Failed building wheel for pycairo

Failed to build pycairo
ERROR: Could not build wheels for pycairo, which is required to install pyproject.toml-based projects
So have been assuming I need to learn something obvious but after 2 and half days it isn't obvious (and I see that many other people are having similar challenges on other Django projects not related to Creme.
Really hoping someone can provide me a bit guidance on how to get this running, please.
Thank you
