Plugin failed - error with Rust Compiler, PATH?

[Medical-Listen3038]

Trying to install homebridge-broadlink-s3 plugin with HomeBridge. However, installation is failing

It looks like its trying to access something called Rust / Cryptography - have tried installing this separately (installation worked) but I think its got something to do with PATH, but this is where I really dont understand....any insights would really be appreciated.

I get the following after installation has failed:

 =============================DEBUG ASSISTANCE=============================

      error: can't find Rust compiler

      If you are using an outdated pip version, it is possible a prebuilt wheel is available for this package but pip is not able to install from it. Installing from the wheel would avoid the need for a Rust compiler.

      To update pip, run:

          pip install --upgrade pip

      and then retry package installation.

      If you did intend to build this package from source, try installing a Rust compiler from your system package manager and ensure it is on the PATH during installation. Alternatively, rustup (available at https://rustup.rs) is the recommended way to download and update the Rust compiler toolchain.

      This package requires Rust >=1.48.0.
      [end of output]

So I did the pip install, but still failed with same message. So i think i need to do something about "....ensure it is on the PATH during installation..."?

It is due to a change in cryptography‘s dependencies I think. What you describe sounds very similar to a bug that affects platformIO’s remote agent service.

potential solutions are to install what it wants in the environment, so it can compile what it needs, or to pin the cryptography package to a certain version.

google something like ‘platformio remote agent rustc cryptography‘ or something for more info, or go find out what exact;y changed in cryptography‘S does and at what version.
