Thanks John! Could you check the traceback error I posted when trying direct from python. I think? I am missing some library. Thanks!!

The repeater configuration file can be manually edited instead of using
the GUI.? There is a command line option to not launch the GUI.? It
should be listed with --help.

The files for configuring a repeater as a Linux service have not been
updated, not really documented, and probably do not work for system-d
based Linux distributions.? The systemctl command means a system-d based
Linux.
I have not tried setting up the repeater as a service so I have not
debugged.
I was leaving that for later work or for some motivated Linux user to
work out the details.

The msys2 is an Linux emulation layer that runs on Microsoft Windows, it
is not used on any other platform.
My development is done on Anti-X Linux, which is a Debian based as many
Raspberry Pi Distributions and is Ubuntu.
The package names for Debian distributions are usually the same, but may
some differences.
Currently I only list the package names for Anti-X Linux.

Broken dependencies are not part of the D-Rats project, that is
something local to your system.

A python virtual environment is only needed for installing python
packages that are not available as packages from the distribution.
Anti-X linux, and Ubuntu 22.04 are known to supply all the packages
needed for running D-Rats, including all the optional python modules.
Msys2 supplies all the packages needed for running D-Rats, but at the
last check, did not supply all the optional modules that D-Rats can use
if they are installed.
Some of the python packages needed for creating a python distribution
tarball require modules that can only be installed with PIP from Pypi.
Modules installed from Pypi need to be installed in a Virtual
Environment or equivalent for isolation.
