    • Closed Issue created by Trac @tracbot

    Please let me know if this belongs in the stem bugs or if any further information is required.

    I installed nyx through pip on a armhf version of alpine linux (alpine doesn't seem to have nyx in its repos), but nyx immediately crashes on launch with the following error.

    Traceback (most recent call last):
