[BUG] Installation Issue

[polishedmarvin]

I recently installed pirowflo on a Pi3B+ using a fresh updated copy of Debian bullseye and following the read.me project installation instructions. During execution of the install script an error occurred prevent installation completion. Snips of the log report follow.

{snip start}

checking for dbus-1 >= 1.8... no
configure: error: Package requirements (dbus-1 >= 1.8) were not met:

No package 'dbus-1’ found

{snip end}

I was able to resolve the issue using the following command:

sudo apt install build-essential libdbus-glib-1-dev libgirepository1.0-dev
pip install dbus-python

I then sucessfully reran the pirowflo installation script. The install competed successfully but I did note the following potential issues show below.

I am using pirowflow with the S4 monitor and the Pi 3B+ bluetooth connection to WaterRower Connect on iOS 15.4 It works great! Kudos to you and the developers for a great project.

Finally, for restarting the program after powerup or reboot, I put the script command into .bashrc. It seems to work fine. I understand that there are other methods that can be used. A addition to the Getting Started section of the Read.me would be helpful for this of us that want to run it headless and don't want to bother with connecting to the web server.

I just did a fresh install on a 3B+ with the 64bit Raspberry OS; only missing dependency (otherwise just like described) was libdbus-1-dev, I did only try Bluetooth though, my ANT Dongle hasn't arrived yet.
