@duwudi @pi-topMIKE Hope your ok with this and you can use this how you wish
With a couple issues with installing the pi-top SDK missing dependencies, I decided to make an automated script that will install the pi-top SDK and required dependencies depending if you have Raspberry Pi OS Lite, Minimal or full.
This does require internet connection and can be run via SSH or directly on the system
THIS IS NOT REQUIRED FOR pi-topOS
What does the script do exactly?
- Updates your system to latest version and removes useless packages
- Checks the Raspberry Pi OS Version || Lite, Minimal or Full
- Installs dependencies specific to OS version
- Installs the pi-top SDK
Raspberry Pi OS Lite missing dependencies
- python3-pip
- libopenjp2-7
- libilmbase-dev
- libopenexr-dev
- libgstreamer1.0-dev
- libavcodec-dev
- libavformat-dev
- libswscale-dev
- openCV
Raspberry Pi OS Minimal and Full missing dependencies
- openCV
Check what version of Raspberry Pi OS you have installed can be done by checking /boot/issue.txt and checking the stage number
- Stage 1 - truly minimal system. - no idea what this version is
- Stage 2 - Lite system. - publicly available (Lite)
- Stage 3 - desktop system - no idea what this version is
- Stage 4 - Normal Raspbian image. - publicly available (Minimal)
- Stage 5 - The Raspbian Full image. - publicly available (Full)
Stage 2, 4 and 5 are all we are interested in. 1 and 3 are unknown versions to me. I dont know where to get the images from so I cannot test
PLEASE NOTE: this script can take some time to complete so please be patient
Testing
I have tested this on all 3 versions, Lite/Minimal/Full and can confirm that it works. you will know that it works when the OLED starts displaying the pi-top animation then the menu system when completed
Single Line installer
wget -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CAProjects/pi-top-SDK-installer/main/sdk-installer.sh | bash
leave it to fully run

If you have suggestions on how to optimize this better, I would welcome the feedback
