all my packages are up to date, I don't know if I'm missing some obvious step to making this work or not

okay many such cases: i may have found the issue after posting. dug through closed issues and my 3.8.2 python3 version is probably the issue here, getting 3.13 set up now, hopefully that solves this

[Pacardeoum]

okay accidentally closed this issue, i got python 3.13.3 set up and now i getting a whole new error

The basic problem is that your distribution is really old --- you need a more modern Python (as you've found) and protobuf tools. I should add some better version checks, though, so it at least tells you why the build failed.

[elosha]

Wait. You need a very new python to even build the client? I don‘t even got it to recognize the installed C libs … I give up.

[davidgiven]

The | operator was added in 3.9, which dates from 2020, and is the oldest supported Python. That does not count as 'very new'.
