Amadio on HBT reported an issue installing under Raspbian Stretch:

I just got a new Pi 3, trying to install on the latest Raspbian (STRETCH LITE September 2017).

using the automated installer I see this error message during the install

Hey there! Cougar281 and I spent time researching this one on HBT - I think it’s pip’s fault.

So I think this issue is resolved between two commits in Fermentrack tools.

The first commit added a script which forces reinstallation of pip within the virtualenv. This should hopefully fix any issues that

The second commit separately adds the '-H' flag to each call made via sudo <fermentrack user>. I think that some environments/installations do this by default, while in others this behavior isn't assumed. By forcing the -H flag the home directory is always redirected which is what we want in this case.

I'm actually guessing it's the second of these changes that is the more important one - but I'm leaving the first one (for now) as it doesn't seem to cause any issues elsewhere.
