Any ideas on how to get this to work. We tried the GitHub stuff but each time it failed. The error was something like Unable to fetch

Hey Fergus,
I have one of these myself and the one line installer worked fine. Do you have a solid internet connection on the Pi?
The github is still up (though I noticed there’s a fork for boards manufactured this year):

Thanks for the reply Oliver. Yes, the internet is solid. I logged an issue to GitHub.
The only thing I notice is that the i2c is not installed.
I checked the mirror detect websites and they are definitely not active,
Can you send me the log of your install so I can see what websites your install accessed.

Here is the log. Have tried this now around ten times with different configurations, I did notice that the I2C and SPI interface were not enabled on the Pi but they are now. Here is the log below. Not sure if that main issue is the fault weblinks but clicking on them shows the webpages are not active.

Just heard on Pimoroni forums that my Raspberry Pi is using an old version of is (Jessie) so need to upgrade.

I’ll have to see if I can dig it out, but yep, running sudo apt full-upgrade and sudo apt update is always a good first step

OK. I have been on the Pimoroni forum a lot. They have given a lot of tips but still no action.
I have an old RPi 3B (2015). I reflashed the micro SD card to Buster using the Raspberry Pi Imager and now the curl -sSL https:\\get.pimoroni.com\hyperpixel4 | bash does actually work but on reset the whole system hangs. Probably best to buy this display with a RPi4. I will try on a PiZero ordered recently and report back.

All good now, thanks. After upgrading to latest RPi Os (Buster), all I had to do was connect Ethernet to RPi, type in
curl -sSL https://get.pimoroni.com/hyperpixel4 | bash, select option 0, reboot and wait 30s or so to let Rpi startup. I fell over at the last hurdle - waiting for 30 seconds. I had a lot of help on the Pimoroni forum.
